I-NASA ihlela ukuthutha irokhethi ye-SLS isuka ohambweni lwe-Artemis II ibuyele endaweni yokwethulwa ngoMashi 20, igcine uhlelo lwendiza yabasebenzi ngo-Ephreli. I-ejensi iqedele umsebenzi odingekayo esakhiweni sokuhlanganisa izimoto ku-Centro Espacial Kennedy, ku-Flórida, ngemva kokuhlonza nokufaka esikhundleni sezintambo zesistimu yokunqanyulwa kwendiza esigabeni esiyinhloko serokhethi. Isiteji esingu-Essa simele ukunyakaza kwesibili kwemoto ku-Launch Complex-39B kusukela ngoJanuwari, lapho kwenzeka uhambo lokuqala lokuhlola. Ukwethulwa kusahlelelwe ukuqala kuka-Ephreli, kunethuba lokuqala ngo-Ephreli 1, ngaphandle komthelela ekhalendeni elikhulu.
Umsebenzi ubandakanya isithuthi esikhasayo, esizohambisa isitaki esiphelele se-SLS kanye nomkhumbi-mkhathi Orion cishe ngamakhilomitha angu-6.4 ngesivinini esingaba ngu-1.6 km/h. Inqubo kufanele ithathe amahora angu-12, kuye ngezimo zezulu zendawo. I-Equipes ye-NASA yengamela zonke izinhlelo ukuze iqinisekise ubuqotho endleleni.
Amalungiselelo okugcina esakhiweni somhlangano
Ochwepheshe baphothule imisebenzi yokuvala kanye nokuhlola ngemva kokulungisa izintambo zokufaka izintambo. Ukulungisa kwaqedwa ngokushesha kunalokho obekulindelwe ekuqaleni. I-Isso yenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukuhlola ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuletha ukufuduka, kodwa usuku lwangoMashi 20 lwagcinwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe wonke amasheke.
Ukushintshwa kwengxenye kwenzeke ngaphandle kwezinkinga ezengeziwe. I-Engenheiros iqinisekise ukusebenza kwesistimu yokunqanyulwa kwendiza. Amaqembu ayaqhubeka nokuhlola okokugcina ngaphambi kokuthi athuthe.
Siphinde sengeze i-Thursday, April 2 njengedethi engaba khona yokwethulwa kwe-Artemis II. Track ikhalenda yokutholakala komgomo:https://t.co/md0YfudvCd pic.twitter.com/sHBnc5IlLI

Imininingwane yokususwa kwerokhethi
I-SLS ne-Orion zizothuthwa ziqonde phezulu kusiqalisi seselula. Umzila ulandela umzila osungulwe endaweni yokuqalisa. I-NASA izosakaza umcimbi bukhoma ukuze umphakathi ubukwe.
Izimo zezulu ku-Flórida zizohlolwa ngokuqhubekayo. Qualquer ukulungiswa kuzokwenzeka ngokusekelwe kuzibikezelo zendawo. Inhloso ukubeka imoto endaweni yokuhlolwa kokugcina ngaphambi kokwethulwa.
Ingqikithi yemishini Artemis II
I-Artemis II izoba indiza yokuqala yomuntu yohlelo lwe-Artemis, ithumele osomkhathi abane endleleni ezungeze u-Lua. Imishini ithatha cishe izinsuku eziyishumi futhi ihlola amasistimu okusekela ukuphila endaweni ejulile yasemkhathini. Iqembu lihlanganisa osomkhathi be-NASA Reid Wiseman (umphathi), Victor Glover (umshayeli), Christina Koch (uchwepheshe wemishini), kanye nosomkhathi Agência Espacial Canadense Jeremy Hansen.
Indiza imele ukubuya kwabantu emkhathini wenyanga ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kwengama-50. Umkhumbi-mkhathi Orion uzokwenza imijovo ye-translunar futhi isebenzise amandla adonsela phansi e-Lua ukuze uthole indlela yamahhala yokubuya. I-Sistemas yokuxhumana, ukuzulazula nokuvikelwa kwemisebe izoqinisekiswa phakathi nohambo.
Ukuhlolwa kwangaphambilini nokulungiswa okwenziwe
Izinkinga ezihlonzwe ekuhlolweni kwesudi emanzi ziholele ekutheni imoto ibuyele endlini yomhlangano ngoFebhuwari. Inkinga ngokugeleza kwe-helium esigabeni esiphezulu yaxazululwa phakathi nenkathi ye-VAB. Ukulungiswa kwe-Esses kuqinisekisa ukwethembeka kwendiza yomuntu.
Ukukhishwa kokuqala kwenzeka ngoJanuwari, kwalandelwa izivivinyo endaweni yesikhulumi. Umnyakazo wesibili ulungiselela i-SLS imisebenzi yokugcina yokubala wehla. Equipes yenza ukuhlola okuhlanganisiwe phakathi kwerokhethi, imikhumbi-mkhathi nengqalasizinda yaphansi.
Izinyathelo ezilandelayo zokuqalisa
Lapho ifika endaweni yesikhulumi, i-NASA izokwenza izivivinyo ezengeziwe zokuhlanganisa kanye nokushisa. Ukubuyekezwa kokulungela indiza kuqinisekise inqubekelaphambili ebheke ewindini lokuqalisa. I-Oportunidades eyengeziwe ikhona ngo-Ephreli uma ukulungiswa kuyadingeka.
Uhlelo lwe-Artemis luqhubekela phambili ngokugxila emisebenzini eqhubekayo ukuya ku-Lua. I-Artemis II yenza izisekelo zokuhlalisa okulandelwa umuntu kanye nokuhlola kwesikhathi eside.
