Inqwelo-moya yaseTshayina iChang'e 6 iqala ukusampula kwicala elikude lenyanga

Inqwelo-moya yaseTshayina iChang'e 6 yenze imbali ngokufika ngempumelelo kwicala elikude lenyanga kwaye iqalise inkqubo yokuqokelela iisampulu zamatye asenyangeni kulo mmandla ungakhange uhlolwe ngaphambili.

Emva kokujikeleza inyanga kangangeeveki ezintathu, inqwelo-moya yafika ngentsimbi ye-06:23 ngexesha laseBeijing ngomhla wesi-2 kuJuni. Yafika kwi-Apollo crater, indawo ethe tyaba ekwi-South Pole-Aitken impact basin.

Unxibelelwano necala elikude lenyanga lunzima ngenxa yokungabikho konxibelelwano oluthe ngqo noMhlaba. Nangona kunjalo, ukufika kwenqwelo-moya kwenziwe lula sisathelayithi iQueqiao-2 relay, eyasungulwa ngoMatshi, evumela iinjineli ukuba zijonge inkqubela yothumo kwaye zithumele imiyalelo zisuka kumjikelezo wenyanga.

Inkqubo yokufika iqhutywe ngokwayo, apho i-lander kunye ne-ascent module yayo behamba behla ngendlela elawulwayo besebenzisa iinjini ezikwinqwelo. Ixhotyiswe ngenkqubo yokuphepha imiqobo kunye neekhamera, inqwelo-moya ichonge indawo efanelekileyo yokufika, isebenzisa i-laser scanner malunga neemitha ezili-100 ngaphezulu komphezulu wenyanga ukuze igqibezele indawo yayo ngaphambi kokuba ifike kancinci.

Okwangoku, umkhuhli wezinto ezithwala inkunkuma uxakeke ngumsebenzi wokuqokelela iisampulu. Ngokusebenzisa i-scoop yerobhothi ukuqokelela izinto ezingaphezulu komhlaba kunye ne-drill yokukhupha ilitye kubunzulu obuziimitha ezi-2 phantsi komhlaba, le nkqubo kulindeleke ukuba ithathe iiyure ezili-14 kwiintsuku ezimbini, ngokutsho kwe-China National Space Administration.

Nje ukuba iisampulu zigcinwe, ziya kudluliselwa kwisithuthi sokunyuka, esiza kuhamba ngesantya esiphezulu senyanga ukuze sidibane ne-orbiter module. Emva koko, i-orbiter iza kuqala uhambo lwayo lokubuyela eMhlabeni, ikhuphe i-capsule yokungena kwakhona equlethe iisampulu zenyanga ezixabisekileyo ngomhla wama-25 kuJuni. I-capsule kulindeleke ukuba ifike kwindawo yeSiziwang Banner e-Inner Mongolia.
