NASA usejoyine impi yokulwa ne-coronavirus (Covid-19) ngemizamo eqhubekayo ezweni lonke yokwengeza impendulo kazwelonke, ezimbalwa zazo ezigqanyiswe esithangamini nabezindaba namuhla.
"Amandla eNASA abelokhu eyikhono nentshisekelo yethu - ngokuhlanganyela kanye nangayedwa - ekuxazululeni izinkinga," kusho uMphathi weNASA UJim Bridenstine. “Wonke umsebenzi owenziwayo ukhombisa ukuthi i-NASA ikulungele kanjani ukusiza ekuphenduleni kombuso ku-coronavirus ngokusebenzisa amandla obuhlakani babasebenzi bethu, ukugqugquzela ukutshalwa kwemali okwenziwe esikhungweni sasemkhathini sase-US ukulwa nalesi sifo, nokusebenza ngokubambisana nomphakathi nabazimele ukukhulisa imiphumela. ”
On April 1, I-NASA yethule i-ejensi yonke isimemo sokufuna imibono endaweni yayo yangaphakathi ye-crowdsourcing NASA@WORK yokuthi le nhlangano ingasebenzisa kanjani ubuchwepheshe namandla ayo ukusiza isizwe kule nkinga engakaze ibonwe. Emasontweni amabili nje kuphela, kwathunyelwa imibono engu-250, kwathunyelwa imibono engaphezu kuka-500, kwaphonswa amavoti angaphezu kuka-4,500.
Ngaphezu kwenselelo ye-NASA@Work, abasebenzi be-ejensi bathuthukise imibono futhi basebenzisana nozakwethu ukuze baphendule ngokushesha enkingeni yezempilo phakathi nenyanga edlule. Imizamo ye-ejensi evezwe ngesikhathi kuqhubeka isithangami nabezindaba ihlanganisa:
I-VITAL Ventilator
Onjiniyela be-NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory e California yakhele umshini womoya ophefumula omusha owenzelwe ngqo ukwelapha iziguli ze-COVID-19. Idivayisi, ebizwa nge-VITAL (Ventilator Intervention Technology Accessible Localally), idlulise isivivinyo esibucayi April 21 e-Icahn School of Medicine eNtabeni iSinayi e I-New York - Isizinda se-COVID-19 in I-the united states - futhi manje sekubuyekezwa ukugunyazwa kokusetshenziswa okuphuthumayo yi-Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
I-VITAL yenzelwe ukwelapha iziguli ezinezimpawu ezinzima, ngaleyo ndlela kugcinwe ukunikezwa okulinganiselwe kwesizwe kwama-ventilator wendabuko atholakalela iziguli ezinezimpawu ezinzima ze-COVID-19.
Lo mshini ungakhiwa ngokushesha futhi ugcinwe kalula ukwedlula umshini wokuphefumula wendabuko, futhi unezingxenye ezimbalwa kakhulu, okwenza kube ukonga kakhulu ukukhiqiza. Yenzelwe ukusebenzisa izingxenye ezikhona njengamanje kubakhiqizi abangahle zibe khona kepha hhayi ukuncintisana nochungechunge olukhona lokuhlinzekwa kwama-ventilator enziwe njengamanje.
I-Aerospace Valley Isigqoko Sokucindezela Okuqondile
Isikhungo se-NASA se-Armstrong Flight Research Centre California ibambisene ne-Antelope Valley Hospital, i- Idolobha Lancaster, IVirgin Galactic, Inkampani Yespacehip (TSC), I-Antelope Valley College kanye namalungu e-Antelope Valley Task Force ukuxazulula ukushoda kwemishini yezokwelapha ebalulekile emphakathini wendawo.
Eminye yemizamo yokuqala yabasebenzi kwakuwukwakha isigqoko sokuvikela oksijini sokwelashwa kweziguli ze-COVID-19 ezibonisa izimpawu ezincane nokunciphisa isidingo salezo ziguli ukusebenzisa imishini yokuphefumula. Idivayisi isebenza njengomshini oqhubekayo we-airway pressure (CPAP) ophoqelela i-oxygen emaphashini asebenza kancane esiguli.
Ebizwa nge-Aerospace Valley Positive Pressure Helmet, le divayisi yahlolwa ngempumelelo odokotela base-Antelope Valley Hospital. Inkampani iSpacehip iqale ukukhiqiza ama-500 kuleli sonto kwafakwa isicelo April 22 ku-FDA ukuthola isigunyaziso sokusetshenziswa okuphuthumayo.
Uhlelo Lokuqedwa Kwendawo Engaphezulu
Ngohlelo lwayo lwe-Regional Economic Development Program, onjiniyela baseGlenn Research Centre yeNASA e Ohio ihlanganyele nayo Ohio Imikhiqizo Yezimo Eziphuthumayo Nocwaningo ngo-2015 ukuqondisa ukwakhiwa nokukhiqizwa kocingo oluncane, oluphathekayo nolonga imali oluqeda izikhala ezinjengama-ambulensi ngaphansi kwehora nangengxenyana yezindleko zezinhlelo ezisetshenziswayo njengamanje. I-AMBUStat isetshenziswa ezimotweni zamaphoyisa nakwezinye izindawo kubulala izinhlayiya ezisemoyeni nangaphezulu zamagciwane. Manje i-NASA yenza ucwaningo olwengeziwe ukuqhubeka nokukhulisa ukusebenza kahle kwale divayisi ku-COVID-19.
Ifa le-NASA lokuhlola indawo, ucwaningo nokuthuthukiswa kwezobuchwepheshe seliveze izinto eziningi ezifakazela umthelela oqondile futhi omkhulu wokutshalwa kwemali kwabakhokhi bentela ohlelweni lwesikhala saseMelika kwikhwalithi yethu yempilo eMhlabeni, kufaka phakathi ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe bokuhlanzwa kwamanzi, ukuhlunga umoya, ukuxilongwa kwezinso i-tele-medicine, kanye nocwaningo oluholele ekuthuthukisweni kwemithi yokugoma, ekwelapheni izidakamizwa, nasekunciphiseni ukonakala kwamathambo. Singacabanga nje ngobubanzi bezinzuzo eziguqukayo ezizovela ekubuyeni kweMelika eNyangeni ngohlelo lweNASA luka-Artemis nemizamo yethu yokubeka abantu bokuqala eMars.
