Vezvenhau vanoburitsa izvozvo SpaceX, inotungamirwa naElon Musk, akapfimbwa mukuvaka network inosanganisira mazana emasatellite evasori vekondirakiti yakasarudzika nesangano rehungwaru rekuUS.
Iyo network purojekiti iri kuitwa neSpaceX's Starshield bhizinesi unit, inoshanda pasi pechibvumirano chemadhora bhiriyoni gumi nesere chakaiswa muna 1.8 neNational Reconnaissance Office (NRO), inoona nezve spy satellites.
Ichi chirongwa chinonongedza pakuwedzera kwechikamu cheSpaceX muhungwaru hweUS uye mauto ekutanga, zvichiratidza kuwedzera kwePentagon kwekudyara mune yakakura setiraiti masisitimu munzvimbo dzakaderera-Earth orbits, yakanangana nekusimbisa mauto epasi.
Sekureva kwezvinyorwa, chirongwa ichi chine mukana wekusimudzira zvakanyanya hurumende yeUS uye kugona kwemauto kuti vaone nekukasira vanokwanisa kutariswa pasi rose.
Muna Kukadzi, The Wall Street Journal yakaburitsa kuvepo kwekondirakiti yeStarshield yaikosha madhora bhiriyoni 1.8 nesangano rehungwaru risingazivikanwe, kunyangwe hazvo zvine chekuita nezvinangwa zvechirongwa hazvina kupihwa.
Reuters ikozvino yaburitsa kuti chibvumirano cheSpaceX chine chekuita nehurongwa hutsva hwakasimba hunosanganisira mazana emasatelliti akashongedzerwa nePasi-imaging hunyanzvi, inokwanisa kushanda pamwe chete munzira dzakaderera.
Zvakare, zvakafumurwa kuti iyo intelligence agency inodyidzana nekambani yeMusk ndiyo National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Zvakadaro, ruzivo nezve nguva yekuendeswa kweiyo satellite network itsva haisati yaburitswa, uye ruzivo nezve mamwe makambani ari muchirongwa ichi kuburikidza nemakondirakiti avo haakwanise kuzivikanwa.
Zvinoenderana nekwabva, masatellite akarongwa ane kugona kuteedzera zvibodzwa zvepasi uye kuendesa data rakaunganidzwa kune veUS intelligence nevakuru vemauto. Kushanda uku kunobvumira hurumende yeUS kuti ikurumidze kuwana mifananidzo inoenderera yezviitiko zvepasi pasi rose.
Kubva 2020, angangoita gumi nemaviri prototypes akavhurwa muSpaceX's Falcon 9 maroketi, sezvakaburitswa nematatu masosi. Aya prototypes, akaiswa pamwe chete nemamwe ma satellite, anosimbiswa neaviri masosi kuve chikamu cheStarshield network.
Izvo zvakakosha kusiyanisa kuti iyo yakarongwa Starshield network yakasiyana neStarlink, SpaceX iri kuwedzera kutengeserana Broadband boka renyeredzi rinosanganisira zviuru zvishanu nemazana mashanu emasatellite. Nepo Starlink ichivavarira kupa kupararira kweinternet kune vatengi, mabhizinesi, uye masangano ehurumende, boka renyeredzi revasori satellite rinomiririra kugona kuchiva kwehurumende yeUS muchadenga.
