Emhubheni thola imikhumbi-mkhathi ekhiqizwa i-SpaceX. Khombisa imiphumela ngefomethi ehlukaniswe ngamakhoma.
Context:I-Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (i-SpaceX) ingumkhiqizi wezindiza zasemkhathini waseMelika, umethuli, kanye nenkampani yezokuxhumana nge-satellite ezinze eHawthorne, eCalifornia. Yasungulwa ngo-2002 ngu-Elon Musk ngenhloso ebekiwe yokunciphisa izindleko zokuthuthwa kwesikhala ukuze kunikezwe amandla ukwenziwa kwamakoloni eMars. Le nkampani ikhiqiza imikhumbi yezindiza i-Falcon 9, i-Falcon Heavy, ne-Starship, izinjini eziningana zamarokhethi, i-Cargo Dragon ne-Crew Dragon spacecraft, kanye nama-satellites okuxhumana e-Starlink.  I-SpaceX ithuthukisa inethiwekhi ye-inthanethi yesathelayithi ebizwa ngokuthi i-Starlink ukuze inikeze insizakalo ye-inthanethi yezentengiselwano. NgoJanuwari 2020, iqoqo lezinkanyezi le-Starlink laba yiqoqo lezinkanyezi elikhulu kunawo wonke ake lasungulwa, futhi kusukela ngoDisemba 2022 liqukethe ama-satellite amancane angaphezu kuka-3,300 emzileni. Le nkampani iphinde ithuthukise i-Starship, uhlelo lokuqalisa oluxhaswe ngemali yangasese, olusebenziseka kabusha ngokuphelele, olunesisindo esikhulu sokuhamba ngezindiza zasemkhathini nokujikeleza komhlaba. Kuhloswe ukuba kube imoto yokuqala ye-SpaceX uma isisebenza, ithathe indawo ye-Falcon 9, i-Falcon Heavy, ne-Dragon. Izoba nomthamo ophakeme kakhulu wokulayisha kunanoma iyiphi i-rocket yomjikelezo owake wakhiwa ekuqaleni kwayo, okuhlelelwe ukuqala kuka-2023 kulinde ilayisense yokuqalisa.  I-SpaceX iye yaba nempumelelo eminingana ekuhloleni umkhathi. Lezi zihlanganisa ukwenza i-rocket yokuqala ye-liquid-propellant eyakhiwe ngasese efinyelela emkhathini, inkampani yokuqala yangasese yokwethula, ukuzungeza, nokubuyisa isikhala, inkampani yokuqala yangasese ukuthumela isikhala esiya e-International Space Station, owokuqala ukufeza ukufika okuqondile kwe-orbital rocket booster, owokuqala ukusebenzisa kabusha i-booster enjalo, kanye nenkampani yokuqala yangasese ukuthumela osomkhathi emkhathini nase-International Space Station. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama - rocket e - SpaceX i - Falcon 9 aye andiza futhi awela izikhathi ezingaphezu kwekhulu.
I-Falcon 9, i-Falcon Heavy, imikhumbi yezindiza, izinjini eziningi zamarokhethi, i-Cargo Dragon, imikhumbi yezindiza i-Crew Dragon, iziphuphutheki zokuxhumana ze-Starlink
