Ukukhathazeka okukhulayo kokusimama kwemvelo kukhulise intshisekelo yokuthola amandla avuselelekayo. Izinhlelo zamandla elanga nezomoya ziye zavela njengezinqumo ezithandwayo; kodwa-ke, ukuncika kwabo emhlabeni omningi kanye nezimo ezifanele kunciphisa ukusebenza kwabo njengemithombo yamandla yodwa. Esinye isisombululo ukuvuna ukukhanya kwelanga emkhathini, okunganikeza umthombo wamandla ongashintshi ngaphandle kwemingcele ebangelwa umhlaba nesimo sezulu.

Ingqikithi yamandla elanga e-Orbital

Isiteshi samandla elanga esizungezayo esikumjikelezo we-geostationary sinamandla okuhlinzeka ngomthombo ongashintshi we-24/7 wamandla elanga kuyo yonke impilo yaso yokusebenza. Lesi siteshi sizokhiqiza amandla ngamandla elanga bese siwadlulisela eMhlabeni sisebenzisa amaza kagesi. Uhulumeni wase-UK uzibekele umgomo wokusungula uhlelo olunjalo lokuqala ngo-2035 futhi ucabanga ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe berokhethi obusebenziseka kabusha be-Space X ukwenza le phrojekthi ibe ngokoqobo.

I-China isivele iqalile ukuzama ukudluliswa kwamandla ebangeni elikhulu ngamagagasi kagesi. Khonamanjalo, i-ejensi yasemkhathini yase-Japan, i-JAXA, inohlelo oluhilela izibuko ezintanta mahhala ukuze zigxilise ukukhanya kwelanga futhi zidlulisele amandla eMhlabeni ngokusebenzisa izimpondo eziyizigidi eziyinkulungwane nobuchwepheshe be-microwave. Kodwa-ke, kunokukhathazeka ngokuthi i-high-frequency transmitting radio beam esetshenziswa yi-UK ingaba nomthelela kanjani ekuxhumaneni komhlaba kanye nokusebenza kokulawulwa kwethrafikhi okuncike ekusebenziseni amaza omsakazo.

Ukuqaliswa kwesiteshi samandla esizungezayo kungasiza ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi kanye nezindleko eziphansi zamandla, kodwa kukhona nokukhathazeka mayelana nezindleko zaso zokwakha kanye nokukhipha okungaba khona okukhiqizwa phakathi nokwakhiwa nokugcinwa kwaso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba kuvezwe yi-JAXA, ukuxhumanisa izimpondo ukuze zibe nomugqa ogxilile nakho kuyinselelo enkulu. Ukusebenzisana kwama-microwaves ne-plasma nakho kudinga olunye ucwaningo ukuze kuqondwe ngokugcwele imithelela yawo. 

Umthelela ophazamisayo 

Iziteshi zamandla elanga zinganciphisa ukuthembela emhlabeni wonke emafutheni ezinto ezimbiwa phansi ukuze kuphehlwe ugesi, okungase kuholele ekwehleni okukhulu kokukhishwa kwegesi. Ukwengeza, impumelelo yale misebenzi ingakhuphula uxhaso lwezimali lwezinkampani zikahulumeni nezizimele zibe ubuchwepheshe bokuhamba emkhathini. Kodwa-ke, ukuthembela esiteshini esisodwa noma eziningi ze-orbital futhi kwandisa ubungozi obuhlobene nokwehluleka kwesistimu noma kwengxenye. 

Ukulungiswa nokunakekelwa kwesiteshi sikagesi esizungezayo kungase kudinge ukusetshenziswa kwamarobhothi, njengoba kungaba nzima futhi kubize kakhulu ngabantu ukwenza imisebenzi yokunakekela esimweni esinzima sasemkhathini. Izindleko zokushintshwa kwezingxenye, izinto zokwakha, nomsebenzi odingekayo ukuze kulungiswe nakho kungaba yisici esibalulekile okufanele sicatshangelwe.

Uma kwenzeka ukwehluleka kwesistimu, imiphumela ingaba mikhulu futhi ibe mikhulu. Izindleko zokulungisa lezi ziteshi zikagesi zasemkhathini nokuzibuyisela emgudwini wokusebenza ogcwele zingaba phezulu, futhi ukuphelelwa amandla kungase kubangele ukushoda kwamandla kagesi emhlabeni kuzo zonke izifunda. Ngakho-ke, kuzobaluleka kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuzinza nokuthembeka kwalezo zinhlelo ngokuhlolwa okuphelele nokufaneleka kwezingxenye, kanye nokusebenzisa izinqubo eziqinile zokuqapha nokunakekela ukuze kutholwe futhi kulungiswe izinkinga ezingase zibe khona.

Imithelela yamandla elanga e-orbital

Imithelela ebanzi yamandla elanga e-orbital ingase ihlanganise:

• Ukuzimela ngokukhiqiza amandla emazweni asebenzisa iziteshi ezinjalo.
• Ukutholakala kukagesi okusabalele, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemakhaya nezikude, okungathuthukisa izinga lempilo futhi kwandise intuthuko yezenhlalakahle.
• Ukunciphisa izindleko ezihlobene nokukhiqizwa nokusatshalaliswa kwamandla, okuholela ekunciphiseni ubumpofu kanye nokwanda kokukhula komnotho.
• Ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla elanga azungezayo okuholela entuthukweni ehambisanayo kubuchwepheshe basemkhathini nokudala imisebenzi emisha, enobuchwepheshe obuphezulu kwezobunjiniyela, ucwaningo, kanye nokukhiqiza.
• Ukwenyuka kwemisebenzi yamandla ahlanzekile okuholela ekugudlukeni emisebenzini evamile kaphethiloli, okungase kube nomphumela wokulahleka kwemisebenzi kanye nesidingo sokuqeqeshwa kabusha nokuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi.
• Ukwanda kokubambisana nokusebenzisana phakathi kwamazwe, kanye nokuncintisana okwandisiwe kwentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe kulo mkhakha.
• Ukuqaliswa kokusetshenziswa kwamandla elanga azungezayo okuholela ekudalweni kwemithethonqubo emisha nemithetho ephathelene nokusetshenziswa kwendawo kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwamasathelayithi, okungase kuholele ezivumelwaneni ezintsha zamazwe ngamazwe nezivumelwano.
• Ukutholakala okukhulu komhlaba ngezinhloso zokuhlala, ezohwebo kanye nezolimo.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Amazwe angasebenzisana kanjani kangcono ukweseka izinhlelo zamandla avuselelekayo njengalezi?
• Izinkampani ezingaba khona kulo mkhakha zingawunciphisa kanjani udoti wesikhala nezinye izinkinga ezingaba khona?
