I-NASA iklomelisa i-Bedrest Studies Contract ku-DLR

I-NASA ikhethe i-Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR) yase-Cologne, eJalimane, ukuze inikeze ukusetshenziswa kwesikhungo sayo ukusekela ucwaningo lwesikhathi eside lokuphumula kombhede.

Inkontileka ye-Bedrest Studies ka-$49.9 million izosekela uchungechunge lwezifundo zokuphumula umbhede esikhungweni senkampani e-Cologne, eJalimane. Izinsizakalo nazo zingadingeka kwezinye izikhungo ze-NASA, izindawo zosonkontileka noma zosonkontileka abancane, noma izikhungo zabathengisi.

Inkontileka ihlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokweseka Uphiko Lwezempilo Nokusebenza Komuntu kanye NoHlelo Lokucwaninga Kwabantu (HRP) eJohnson Space Center yeNASA eHouston. Kodwa-ke, i-NASA ayilindele noma yisiphi isidingo sokubiza amavolontiya ocwaningo e-US

Ucwaningo oluxhaswe ngabakwa-HRP luzosebenzisa umbhede ogobile otshekele phansi obheke phansi njenge-analogi kokunye ukujwayela komzimba okutholwa osomkhathi ngesikhathi sokundiza emkhathini. Ucwaningo luhlose ukuqonda kangcono nokuhlola izinyathelo eziphikisanayo zezingozi ezihlobene nomsebenzi wesikhathi eside wokundiza emkhathini okuhlanganisa ne-International Space Station, izinhlelo ze-Artemis kanye ne-Gateway.

"Izindikimba ezinkulu zocwaningo zalo nyaka ziwukuthi abasebenzi basebenza kanjani uma besebenza ngokuzimele bevela ku-Mission Control kanye nokunye ukwesekwa okusekelwe eMhlabeni kanye nempumelelo yezinhlelo ezahlukene ezithuthukisiwe zokusekela lezi zinhlobo zokusebenza ezizimele," kusho uBrandon Vessey, usosayensi wezocwaningo. ukusebenza kanye nokuhlanganiswa ngaphakathi kwe-HRP. "Imiphumela yalolu cwaningo izosiza ekwaziseni ukuthi i-NASA ihlela kanjani uhambo lokuhlola lwesikhathi esizayo lapho abasebenzi bosomkhathi kuzodingeka basebenze ngokuzimela ngaphandle koMhlaba kunokuba benza ohambweni lwamanje lwe-International Space Station emzileni ophansi we-Earth."

Inkontileka yokuletha/yenani elingapheli enama-oda emisebenzi aqinile, amanani angashintshi, iqala ngoNov. 23, 2021, futhi inwebe kuze kube nguDis. 31, 2025, ngaphandle kwesikhathi sokungena.
