Tērā pea ka utaina e te United Launch Alliance te methane cryogenic me te hāora wai ki roto i tana papa whakamātautau roketi Vulcan i Cape Canaveral mō te wā tuatahi i roto i ngā wiki e haere ake nei i a ia e whakamahere ana ki te whakarewa i tana roketi Atlas 5 o te whakatipuranga e whai ake nei i waenga i ngā rerenga. He whakamātautau matua o ngā roketi ka whakamahi i te whakarewatanga roketi kotahi.
I tēnei wā, kei te whakamahi a ULA i tana rōkete Atlas 5 hei whakamātautau i ngā wāhanga o te rōkete Vulcan Centaur kaha ake i mua i te rerenga tuatahi o te waka whakarewa hou. Kua rite te miihini wāhanga tuatahi BE-4 hou mai i te kamupene mokowhiti a Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin, ā, kei te haere whakamua me te whakarewatanga whakamātautau tuatahi o Vulcan.
I te tīmatanga o Mei, i kī te Tumu Whakahaere Matua o ULA, a John Albon, kua rite te whakarewatanga o te rōkete Vulcan tuatahi i te mutunga o te tau.
Tērā pea ka tū te whakarewatanga tuatahi a Vulcan i te mutunga o tēnei tau, i te tīmatanga rānei o te tau 2022, e ai ki te kōrero a Kāwana Robert Bongiovi, te kaiwhakahaere o te Space Force's Space and Missile Systems Center i te Wenerei. Ka noho te Space Force hei kiritaki nui rawa atu a ULA i te mea e rua ngā rerenga whakamana a te rōkete Vulcan i mua i te whakarewatanga o tana misioni hōia tuatahi o Amerika, USSF-106, i te tīmatanga o te tau 2023.
I te Tūrei, i whakamātautauhia e te whakarewatanga o te amiorangi hōia o Amerika, a Atlas 5, tētahi putanga whakapai ake o te miihini RL10 o runga, ka rere i runga i te taumata o runga o te rōkete Vulcan, a Centaur. Ko te whakarewatanga o Atlas 5 e whai ake nei i te marama o Hune, koinei te rōkete tuatahi e whakamahi ana i a Vulcan. Pērā i te whakangungu rakau utauta i hangaia i te USA, ehara i te mea i Switzerland.
Kua tata oti te hanganga me te whakamātautau i te pūnaha papa whakarewatanga hou mō te roketi Vulcan Centaur, e ai ki a Ron Fortson, te kaiwhakahaere me te kaiwhakahaere matua o ngā mahi whakarewatanga i ULA.
"He papa whakarewatanga rua-whakamahinga tēnei," te kī a Fordson i a ia e ārahi ana i ngā kairīpoata i tētahi haerenga ki te Launch Pad 41 i te Teihana Ātea o Cape Canaveral. "Kāore anō kia mahia tēnei e tētahi i mua, ko te whakarewatanga o Atlas me tētahi raina hua Vulcan tino rerekē i runga i te papaaho kotahi."
Ko te miihini RD-180 Rūhia o te rōkete Atlas 5 e whakamahi ana i te hinu kua konatunatua ki te hāora wai. Ko ngā miihini wāhanga tuatahi e rua o te BE-4 Vulcan e whakamahi ana i te hau maori wai, i te wahie methane rānei, me tāuta e te ULA he tāke rokiroki hou ki runga i te Pūhara 41.
E toru ngā tāke rokiroki methane 100,000-karani te rahi kei te taha raki o te Launch Pad 41. Nā te kamupene, he hononga tahi 50-50 i waenganui i a Boeing me Lockheed Martin, i whakapai ake anō hoki i te pūnaha wai mimiti oro o te papa whakarewatanga, e whakaiti ana i te oro kaha e puta mai ana i te papa whakarewatanga. Te whakarewatanga o te rōkete.
I whakahoutia hoki ngā whare rokiroki hauwai wai me te hāora wai i te Launch Pad 41 kia uru ai te atamira nui ake o Centaur, ka rere i runga i te rōkete Vulcan.
Ko te whānui o te atamira Centaur 5 hou o te rōkete Vulcan he 17.7 putu (5.4 mita), he nui ake i te rua te whānui i te atamira Centaur 3 o runga i te Atlas 5. Ka whakakahangia te Centaur 5 e ngā miihini RL10C-1-1 e rua, ehara i te miihini RL10 kotahi e whakamahia ana i te nuinga o ngā Atlas 5, ā, e rua me te hawhe te nui ake o te wahie ka haria e ia i te Centaur o nāianei.
I kī a Fordson kua oti i te ULA te whakamātautau i ngā tāke rokiroki methane hou, ā, kua tukuna te wai cryogenic mā roto i ngā raina tuku whenua ki te wāhi whakarewatanga i Pad 41.
"I whakakīia e mātou ēnei tāke hei ako mō ō rātou āhuatanga," te kī a Fordson. "Kei a mātou te wahie e rere ana i roto i ngā raina katoa. Ka kiia tēnei e mātou ko te whakamātautau rere matao. I haere mātou i roto i ngā raina katoa tae noa ki te hononga ki te VLP, arā, te tūāpapa whakarewatanga Vulcan, me te rōkete Vulcan kua whakarewaina. te tihi."
Ko te Vulcan Launch Platform he papa whakarewa pūkoro hou e kawe ana i te rōkete Vulcan Centaur mai i te whare whakauru poutū o ULA ki te Launch Pad 41. I te tīmatanga o tēnei tau, i hiki ake e ngā kaimahi whenua te atamira matua o Vulcan Pathfinder ki runga i te papa, ā, i hurihia te rōkete ki runga i te papa whakarewa mō te rauna tuatahi o te whakamātautau whenua.
Kei te rongoa a ULA i ngā atamira VLP me Vulcan Pathfinder ki te Cape Canaveral Space Operations Center e tata ana, i te wā e whakareri ana te kamupene i tana rōkete Atlas 5 hou mō te whakarewatanga me te amiorangi whakatūpato wawe SBIRS GEO 5 a te ope taua.
Whai muri i te whakarewatanga angitu o Atlas 5 me SBIRS GEO 5 i te Tūrei, ka nukuhia e te tīma Vulcan te rōkete ki te Launch Pad 41 hei whakamātautau tonu i a Pathfinder. Ka tīmata a ULA ki te whakanoho i te rōkete Atlas 5 ki roto i te VIF, e whakaritea ana kia whakarewahia i te 23 o Hune mō te misioni STP-3 a te Space Force.
Kei te whakamahere a ULA ki te uta wahie ki runga i tētahi waka whakarewa Vulcan mō te wā tuatahi, i runga i ngā whakamātautau tōmua o te pūnaha whenua.
"A te wā e whai ake nei ka tukuna ai e mātou ngā VLP, ka tīmata mātou ki te mahi i ēnei whakamātautau mā roto i ngā waka," te kī a Fortson.
I tae mai te waka Vulcan Pathfinder ki Cape Canaveral i te marama o Pēpuere i runga i tētahi rōkete ULA mai i te whare o te kamupene i Decatur, Alabama.
Ko te whakarewatanga o te Tūrei te misioni Atlas 5 tuatahi i roto i ngā marama e ono neke atu, engari e matapaetia ana e ULA ka tere ake te tere i tēnei tau. Whai muri i te whakarewatanga o STP-3 i te 23 o Hune, kua whakaritea te whakarewatanga Atlas 5 e whai ake nei mō te 30 o Hūrae, ka uru atu ki roto he rerenga whakamātautau o te waeine kaimahi Starliner a Boeing.
"Me whakaoti e tātou te mahi i runga i a Vulcan i waenga i ngā whakarewatanga," te kī a Fordson. "Ka whakarewahia e tātou a STP-3 i muri tata mai i tēnei. He matapihi iti tā rātou hei mahi, hei whakamātautau, hei whakamātautau anō hoki, kātahi ka whakaurua e tātou tētahi atu waka ki reira."
E whakakahangia ana te rōkete Vulcan Pathfinder e te whare whakamātautau miihini BE-4 a Blue Origin, ā, mā ngā whakamātautau o tana tāke ka āwhina i ngā kaihangarau ki te whakatau me pēhea te uta wahie ki roto i te Vulcan i te rā whakarewatanga.
"Ka mārama mātou ki ngā rawa katoa me te āhua o tā rātou whakahaere, ā, mai i reira ka whakawhanakehia e mātou ā mātou CONOPS (ariā o ngā mahi)," te kī a Fordson.
He nui ngā wheako o ULA ki te hauwai wai tino makariri, tētahi atu wahie rōkete cryogenic e whakamahia ana i roto i te whānau rōkete Delta 4 a te kamupene me ngā wāhanga o runga o Centaur.
"I tino makariri rāua," te kī a Fordson. "He rerekē ō rāua āhuatanga. Ko tā mātou anake he mārama ki tana whanonga i te wā e horapa ana."
"Ko te whakamātautau katoa e mahia ana e mātou ināianei he mārama ki ngā āhuatanga o tēnei hau me tana whanonga ina whakauruhia ki roto i te waka," te kī a Fordson. "Koinā tonu tā mātou e mahi ai i roto i ngā marama torutoru e whai ake nei."
Ahakoa te nui o ngā pūnaha whenua o Vulcan e kore e taea te whakahaere, kei te whakamahi a ULA i ana whakarewatanga rōkete hei whakamātautau i ngā hangarau rere o ngā waka whakarewa o te whakatipuranga e whai ake nei.
I huraina i te Tūrei tētahi momo hou o te miihini Rocketdyne RL10 a Aerojet i runga i te atamira o runga o Centaur. E ai ki te ULA, kua pai ake te mahi a te putanga hou o te miihini hauwai, ko te RL10C-1-1 te ingoa, ā, he māmā ake te hanga.
He roa ake te pūwero o te miihini RL10C-1-1 i te miihini i whakamahia i ngā rōkete Atlas 5 o mua, ā, kei roto hoki he werowero hou kua tāia ki te 3D, i rere tuatahi ai ia, e ai ki a Gary Harry, te tumuaki tuarua o te kamupene mō ngā kaupapa arumoni. E ai ki a Gary Wentz. ULA.
E ai ki te paetukutuku a Aerojet Rocketdyne, ka puta i te mīhini RL10C-1-1 te tata ki te 1,000 pauna o te pana tāpiri atu i te putanga o mua o te mīhini RL10C-1 i whakamahia i runga i te rōkete Atlas 5.
Neke atu i te 500 ngā miihini RL10 kua whakamahi i ngā rōkete mai i te tekau tau atu i 1960. Ka whakamahia anō hoki e te rōkete Vulcan Centaur a ULA te tauira miihini RL10C-1-1, me ngā misioni Atlas 5 katoa a muri ake nei engari ko te kāpūru kaimahi Starliner a Boeing, e whakamahi ana i te atamira o runga miihini-rua ahurei a te Centaur.
I te tau kua hipa, i whakarewaina tuatahitia tētahi pūkaha rōkete totoka hou i hangaia e Northrop Grumman i runga i tētahi rerenga Atlas 5. Ka whakamahia te pūkaha nui, i hangaia e Northrop Grumman, i runga i te misioni Vulcan me te nuinga o ngā rerenga Atlas 5 a meake nei.
Ka whakakapia e te pūkaha hou te pūkaha whitiki-ā-Aerojet Rocketdyne kua whakamahia i ngā whakarewatanga Atlas 5 mai i te tau 2003. Ka haere tonu ngā motuka rōkete totoka a Aerojet Rocketdyne ki te pupuhi i ngā rōkete Atlas 5 hei kawe i ngā misioni tangata ki te āmiomio, engari ko te misioni o tēnei wiki te rerenga whakamutunga o tētahi Atlas 5 hōia e whakamahi ana i tētahi hoahoa waka whakarewa tawhito. Kua whakamanahia te waka whakarewa Aerojet Rocketdyne hei whakarewa i ngā kairangi.
Kua whakauruhia e ULA ngā pūnaha avionics me te arataki o āna rōkete Atlas 5 me Delta 4 ki roto i tētahi hoahoa kotahi ka rere hoki i runga i te Vulcan Centaur.
I te marama e tū mai nei, kei te whakamahere a ULA ki te hura i te pūnaha Vulcan nui whakamutunga hei rere tuatahi ki runga i te Atlas 5: he ārai kawenga he māmā ake, he iti ake hoki te utu ki te hanga i te taupoki ihu o Atlas 5 o mua.
Ko te whānui o te whāriki utauta 17.7-putu (5.4-mita) ka whakarewaina i te marama e tū mai nei i runga i te misioni STP-3 he rite tonu te āhua ki ērā i whakamahia i runga i ngā rōkete Atlas 5 o mua.
Engari ko te ārai he hua o tētahi hononga ahumahi hou i waenganui i a ULA me te kamupene Huiterangi RUAG Space, nāna i hanga i mua ngā ārai 5.4-mita katoa o te Atlas 5 i tētahi wheketere i Huiterangi. Ko te ihu kōne Atlas 5 iti ake e whakamahia ana i ētahi misioni e hangaia ana i te whare o ULA i Harlingen, Texas.
Kua whakawhanakehia e ULA me RUAG tētahi raina whakaputa hou mō ngā taputapu utauta i ngā whare Atlas, Delta me Vulcan o nāianei i Alabama.
E whakamahi ana te raina whakaputa o Alabama i tētahi tukanga hou e whakangāwari ana i ngā mahi hanga o te fairing. E ai ki a ULA, ko te tikanga hanga "kore-autoclave" ka taea anake te whakamahi i te oumu hei whakamaroke i te fairing muka waro, ka whakakorea te autoclave pēhanga-teitei, e whakawhāiti ana i te rahi o ngā wāhanga ka uru ki roto.
Mā tēnei panonitanga ka taea te wehewehe i te ārai utanga kia rua ngā haurua, kaua ki te 18, neke atu rānei, ngā wāhanga iti ake. Mā tēnei ka whakaitihia te maha o ngā whakapiri, ngā whakarea me te tūponotanga o ngā hapa, e ai ki te ULA i roto i tētahi pou rangitaki i te tau kua hipa.
E ai ki te ULA, he tere ake, he iti ake hoki te utu mō te hanga i tētahi ārai utanga nā te tikanga hou.
Kei te whakamahere a ULA ki te rere i ētahi atu misioni Atlas 5 e 30, neke atu rānei, i mua i te whakamutua o te rōkete me te whakawhiti ki te rōkete Vulcan Centaur.
I te marama o Āperira, i hokona e Amazon ngā rerenga Atlas 5 e iwa hei tīmata i te whakarewatanga o ngā amiorangi mō te whatunga Ipurangi Kuiper a te kamupene. I kī te kaikorero mō te Space and Missile Systems Center o te US Space Force i te wiki kua taha ake nei, e ono atu ngā misioni haumarutanga ā-motu ka hiahiatia he rōkete Atlas 5 i roto i ngā tau torutoru e whai ake nei, kāore i te tatau i te misioni SBIRS GEO 5 i whakarewahia i te Tūrei.
I te tau kua hipa, i pānuitia e te US Space Force ngā kirimana piriona tāra hei tuku i ngā kawenga haumarutanga ā-motu nui ki runga i ngā rōkete Vulcan Centaur a ULA me ngā waka whakarewa Falcon 9 me Falcon Heavy a SpaceX tae noa ki te tau 2027.
I te Rāpare, i pūrongo a Space News kua whakaae te Space Force me te ULA ki te nuku i te misioni hōia tuatahi i tukuna ki te rōkete Vulcan Centaur ki te rōkete Atlas 5. Ko te misioni, ko USSF-51 te ingoa, kua whakaritea kia whakarewaina i te tau 2022.
Tokowhā ngā kairangi moana e whakarite ana ki te whakarewa ki te āmiomio i runga i te kāpū Crew Dragon "Resilience" a SpaceX i eke ki tā rātou waka mokowhiti i te Kennedy Space Center i te Rāpare hei whakangungu mō tā rātou whakarewatanga kua whakaritea ki te Teihana Ātea o te Ao i te ahiahi o te Rāhoroi, i te wā e aroturuki ana ngā kaiārahi o te Mihinare i ngā āhuatanga o te rangi me te moana i te wā o te tukanga whakaora.
Ko ngā miihini o te NASA Kennedy Space Center, e tirotiro ana i te whakarewatanga o ngā amiorangi pūtaiao me ngā waka tirotiro ā-aorangi, ka kawenga mō te whakarite kia tae haumaru ngā misioni nui e ono ki te wāhi i roto i ngā marama e ono neke atu i tēnei tau, ka tīmata me te whakarewatanga GOES hou a NOAA – Maehe 1, ka eke a S Weather Observatory ki runga i te rōkete Atlas 5.
I whakarewaina e te rōkete Haina ētahi amiorangi tirotiro hōia whakamātautau e toru ki te āmiomio i te Paraire, ko te tuarua tēnei o ngā amiorangi e toru i whakarewaina i roto i te iti iho i te rua marama.
