Airbus ndi TNO ipanga malo olumikizirana ndege a laser

• Matekinoloje olumikizirana ndi laser ndikusintha kwotsatira pakulumikiza kwa satellite
• Ntchitoyi imakhudza kapangidwe, kapangidwe kake ndi kuyesa kwa wowonetsa ukadaulo
• Malo opangira UltraAir amatha kulumikizana ndi laser pakati pa ndege ndi satellite mu geostationary orbit 36,000 km pamwamba pa Dziko Lapansi

Airbus ndi Netherlands Gulu Lofufuza Sayansi Yofufuza (TNO) ayambitsa pulogalamu yopanga chiwonetsero chapa laser yolumikizira ndege, yotchedwa UltraAir.

Ntchitoyi, yomwe imathandizidwa ndi Airbus, TNO ndi Netherlands Space Office (NSO), ndi gawo la pulogalamu ya European Space Agency's (ESA) ScyLight (Secure and Laser communication technology). Ikufotokoza za kapangidwe, kapangidwe kake ndi kuyesa kwa chiwonetsero chaukadaulo. Matekinoloje olumikizirana ndi laser ndi kusintha kwotsatira kulumikizana ndi satelayiti (satcom), ndikubweretsa mitengo yopitilira kale, chitetezo cha data komanso kulimba mtima kukwaniritsa zosowa zamalonda mzaka khumi zikubwerazi.

Chombo cha UltraAir chitha kulumikizana ndi laser pakati pa ndege ndi satellite mu geostationary orbit 36,000 km pamwamba pa Dziko Lapansi, ndi ukadaulo wosayerekezeka kuphatikiza makina okhazikika komanso olondola a mechatronic system. Wowonetsa ukadauloyu adzatsegulira njira mtsogolo mankhwala a UltraAir omwe mitengo yotumizira ma data imatha kufikira ma gigabits angapo pamphindikati popereka anti-jamming komanso mwayi wotsika. Mwanjira imeneyi UltraAir sidzangolola ndege zankhondo ndi ma UAV (Magalimoto Anga Osasunthika) kuti azilumikizana mumtambo wankhondo, komanso pakapita nthawi amalola okwera ndege kukhazikitsa kulumikizana kwachangu kwambiri chifukwa cha gulu la Airbus 'SpaceDataHighway. Kuchokera pa malo awo ozungulira geostationary, ma satellite a SpaceDataHighway (EDRS) amatumizira deta yomwe imasonkhanitsidwa ndi ma satellite oyang'ana ku Earth munthawi yeniyeni, njira yomwe imatha kutenga maola angapo.

Airbus ikutsogolera ntchitoyi ndipo imabweretsa ukadaulo wapadera pakulumikizana ndi ma satellite a laser, opangidwa ndi pulogalamu ya SpaceDataHighway. Idzagwirizanitsa chitukuko cha malo oyeserera ndikuyesa pansi ndi mlengalenga. Monga mnzake wothandizirana naye, TNO imapereka chidziwitso chake mu opto-mechatronics, yothandizidwa ndi mafakitale apamwamba aku Dutch komanso malo. Chitetezo cha Airbus ndi Space ku Netherlands ndizoyang'anira kupanga mafakitale. Airbus 'subsatary Tesat imabweretsa ukadaulo waluso pamayendedwe olumikizira laser ndipo azichita nawo zochitika zonse zoyesa.

Mayeso oyamba adzachitika kumapeto kwa 2021 m'malo a labotale ku Tesat. Gawo lachiwiri, kuyesa pansi kuyambika koyambirira kwa 2022 ku Tenerife (Spain), komwe kulumikizana kudzakhazikitsidwa pakati pa chiwonetsero cha UltraAir ndi malo opangira ma laser omwe adayamba satellite ya Alphasat pogwiritsa ntchito ESA Optical Ground Station. Potsimikizira komaliza, wowonetsa UltraAir adzaphatikizidwa pa ndege yoyeserera ndege pakati pa 2022.

Pakufunika kwa ntchito za satelayiti, magulu achikhalidwe a satcom akukumana ndi zotchinga. Maulalo a Laser amakhalanso ndi mwayi wopewa kusokonezedwa ndi kupezeka, poyerekeza ndi mawayilesi omwe ali ndi anthu ambiri, kulumikizana kwa laser kumakhala kovuta kwambiri kuthana nawo chifukwa cha mtengo wocheperako. Chifukwa chake, malo opangira ma laser amatha kukhala opepuka, amawononga mphamvu zochepa ndikupereka chitetezo chabwinoko kuposa wayilesi.

Dongosolo latsopanoli ndichinthu chofunikira kwambiri pamalingaliro amachitidwe onse a Airbus oyendetsera kulumikizana kwa laser kupitilira, zomwe zidzabweretsa zabwino zaukadaulo uwu monga chosiyanitsa chopereka mgwirizano wa Multi-Domain kwa maboma aboma ndi achitetezo.
