IZiko laseKennedy Space lityhila igama, ilogo kunye nomhla wokuvula ikhaya elitsha lesiphekepheke iAtlantis

I-KENNEDY SPACE CENTRE, Fla. -I-NASA ye-Kennedy Space Centre yeeNdwendwe zeNgcaciso iphawule esinye isiganeko esibalulekileyo namhlanje ekwakhiweni kwe-90,000-square-foot, i-100 yezigidi zeedola kwikhaya lesiphekepheke sase-Atlantis ngokubhengeza igama elisemthethweni kunye nesazisi esibonakalayo somboniso, njengoko kunye nomhla omkhulu wokuvulwa we-29 Juni 2013.

Umboniso awuyi kubonisa kuphela i-Atlantis njengokungathi isendaweni-iphakanyiswe iinyawo ze-30 ukusuka emhlabeni kwaye yajikeleza i-43 degrees-kodwa iya kuxela ibali elinyanzelisayo leprogram ye-shuttle yonke, kubandakanywa namawaka abantu abasemva kwesi senzo esimangalisayo sobunjineli, indima yayo ephambili ekuphuhliseni iSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe kunye nokuqaliswa nokulungiswa kweHubble Space Telescope, kwakunye nendlela evule ngayo indlela yeenkqubo zanamhlanje zamajukujuku kunye nekamva lokuphononongwa kwendawo.

Ngaphezulu kwe-60 interactive, imiboniso entywilayo kunye ne-simulators iya kunika iindwendwe imbono engazange ibonwe ngaphambili kwiinkqubo eziyinkimbinkimbi ze-shuttle, amacandelo kunye namandla.

“Sinebhongo kakhulu ngokuba nentsebenziswano neNASA ukwakha ekuphela kwendawo emhlabeni yokufumana uhambo olumangalisayo lwase-Atlantis – enye yezona ndawo zinembali enkulu kwinkqubo yaseMelika. Ngaphandle kombuzo, iZiko laseKennedy Space yeyona ndawo ilungileyo yokufumana amava, ufunde kwaye ukhuthazwe kukuphononongwa kwendawo - kwixesha elidlulileyo, langoku kunye nekamva. Kongezwe i-Space Shuttle Atlantis kwiNdlela yeeNdwendwe ezikumgangatho wehlabathi, abakhenkethi ngoku banokufumana isiphekepheke sokubhabha “esibhakabhakeni”-nto leyo ngokwenene engummangaliso wobunjineli,” utshilo uRick Abramson, owayengumongameli kunye negosa eliyintloko elisebenza kwi-Kennedy Space Centre. Iindwendwe Complex kwaye ngoku ungumongameli weDelaware North Companies Parks & Resorts.

Ukudala i-multimillion-dollar, ikhaya elilodwa le-Atlantis-kuquka igama layo kunye nesazisi esibonakalayo, okanye i-logo-Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex kunye ne-NASA baye basebenza ngokubambisana ne-St. Louis-based PGAV Destinations, a inkokeli yehlabathi kucwangciso kunye noyilo lweendawo ezizodwa zokusingwa eziphantse zibe neminyaka engama-50 yamava kumtsalane/kwishishini leendawo.

Emva kweeveki zophuhliso kunye novavanyo, uninzi, ukuba hayi amakhulu eendibaniselwano zamagama aqwalaselwa. Bonke bavumile ukuba igama kufuneka lidlulise imvakalelo, ulonwabo, uchulumanco kunye nenkuthazo, kwaye kufuneka kube lula kubo bobabini abadala kunye nabantwana ukuqonda, ukuphinda kunye nokukhumbula. Ekugqibeleni, amaqabane akhetha ukuhamba negama elilula eliye lachukumisa kakhulu iindwendwe- "I-Space Shuttle Atlantis."

"Nangona umboniso osebenzisanayo wezigidi zeerandi ubandakanya okuninzi, ngaphezulu kokuboniswa kwe-Atlantis, akukho nto iphikayo, uyinkwenkwezi yenene yomboniso," utshilo uBill Moore, igosa eliyintloko elisebenza kwiKennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex.

“Siyazi ukuba obu buhle bumangalisayo, bukhukulise amadoda nabafazi ngokukhuselekileyo kwindawo kwaye babuye kwimishini engama-33 eyimpumelelo, sesona sizathu sokuba iindwendwe zethu zihambe amawaka eekhilomitha, ukunqumla iilwandlekazi nakumazwekazi ukundwendwela iKennedy Space Centre yeeNdwendwe zeComplex ukuya kubona. kubo bonke ubungangamsha bayo. Akukho magama achaza ngokuchanekileyo iimvakalelo kunye nokuqonda iindwendwe eziya kuzifumana xa lo mtsalane uvula kweli hlotyeni, kuba ngenene akuzange kubekho into enje ngaphambili. Ke ngoko, sigqibe kwelokuba sinyaniseke entliziyweni nakumphefumlo walo mboniso kwaye siwubize ngokulula nangentlonipho, iSpace Shuttle Atlantis, utshilo uMoore.

UMike Konzen, inqununu ye-PGAV Destinations, uthe i-logo ye-Space Shuttle Atlantis yenziwe kwi-gradient yee-orenji ezivuthayo ezimele ukuqaliswa kwe-shuttle kunye nokungena kwakhona eMhlabeni. Le mibala yomfuziselo nayo yasetyenziswa kwintsimbi ye-“swish” emele ukungena kwakhona kweeshuttles ngaphandle kwesakhiwo esitsha somboniso. Uluhlu olusuka kukukhanya ukuya kubumnyama ekubhalweni ludlulisela uchulumanco kunye nedrama yenkqubo yokuthutha ngelixa i-icon silhouette ye-orbiter, okanye i-shuttle, isetyenziswe ngokufanelekileyo ukumela "A" e-Atlantis. I-NASA insignia, okanye "i-meatball," isebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuzingca kunye nokuthanda izwe kwiprogram ye-space yaseMelika, ngelixa amagama athi "Iziko le-Kennedy Space" lihlawula indawo yokuqaliswa kwenkqubo nganye ye-Space Shuttle's 135 missions.

I-logo iya kubonakala kwimiqondiso yesikhumbuzo ekungeneni, kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zentengiso, kwimpahla yokuthengisa kunye nentengiso, kwaye incedisa i-Space Shuttle Atlantis entsha ekukhuthazeni abahloli bexesha elizayo.

Inyanga ezayo iphawula elinye inyathelo elibalulekileyo kulwakhiwo lomboniso kunye nokuqaliswa kofakelo lwetanki yangaphandle epheleleyo kunye nezixhasi ezimbini eziqinileyo zerokhethi ekungeneni kwiSpace Shuttle Atlantis. Ezi zixhobo ze "stack" yesiphekepheke ziya kusebenza njengesango elikhulu, kunye neendwendwe ezihamba ngaphantsi kwetanki enkulu yangaphandle e-orenji, eya kuxhonywa kwiinyawo ezingama-24 ukusuka emhlabeni, inyuswe phakathi kwezibhobhobhobhosi ezibini ezomeleleyo kwaye ifikelele kwi-185 iinyawo 11/16 i-intshi ubude emoyeni. Ukufakelwa kolwakhiwo lwendlela yokungena kuya kugqitywa ngoJuni.

Ukwakhiwa kuyaqhubeka kwishedyuli ngaphakathi komboniso ngokunjalo. NgoMeyi, i-Atlantis iya kukhululwa kwi-shrink wrap eyayisetyenziswe ngoNovemba ka-2012 ukuyikhusela kuthuli lolwakhiwo kunye nobutyobo. Iingcango zebhayi yokuhlawula ziya kuvulwa kunye nemodeli epheleleyo yeHubble Space Telescope. Lo mbono, kunye ne-Atlantis ejikelezwe ngama-degrees angama-43, ibonisa i-shuttle kwi-engile ngokungathi isemajukujukwini, njengoko kuphela oosomajukujuku abasuka kwimishini yayo engama-33 baye bafumana ithuba lokubona kwiSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe. I-Atlantis' Canadarm (ingalo yerobhothi) nayo iya kwandiswa.

Okwangoku, eminye iminyhadala eyonwabisayo iyenzeka kwi-Kennedy Space Centre yeeNdwendwe zeComplex, kubandakanya:

I-Angry Birds™ Space Encounting: I-Kennedy Space Centre yeeNdwendwe zeNdawo ihlangene ne-Rovio Entertainment, umyili we-franchise ye-Angry Birds™ eyimpumelelo yehlabathi, kuquka i-Angry Birds Space, ukuzisa umdlalo odumileyo kunye nabalinganiswa ebomini. I-Angry Birds Space Encounter, isetelwe ukuvula kwiNdwendwe yeeNdwendwe entwasahlobo, iya kuba yeyokuqala ebanzi, edibeneyo yeentaka ezinomsindo e-United States eyenzelwe abantu bayo yonke iminyaka.

I-KSC Up-Close Tours Expanded: Abatyeleli banokwabelana ngezona mpumelelo zinkulu zoluntu kunye nekamva lenkqubo yendawo kunye nosapho lonke kwaye bafumane ukufikelela okunqabileyo ngasemva kwe-scenes kwiindawo ze-Kennedy Space Centre ebezingathintelwanga kuluntu kangangamashumi eminyaka. I-KSC Up-Close Tour Series iquka ukutyelela kwiSakhiwo seNdibano yeSithuthi (VAB), iZiko loLawulo lokuQalisa (LCC), kunye nePad Launch. Ukhenketho lwe-VAB lwandisiwe ngo-2013, kwaye i-LCC kunye ne-Launch Pad tours ziqinisekiswa nge-30 kaJuni.

Umsitho wokungeniswa kuka-Astronaut Brown, u-Eileen Collins kunye no-Bonnie Dunbar, Ph.D., bajoyine iqela elikhethekileyo lamagorha asemajukujukwini aseMelika njengoko babengeniswa kwiHolo yoFame ye-Astronaut yase-US nge-20 ka-Epreli, ngexesha lomsitho Iindwendwe Complex. Oku kuqhelaniswa liqela le-12 loosomajukujuku basejukujukwini ababizwa kwi-US Astronaut Hall of Fame kwaye okokuqala abafazi ababini baya kwaziswa ngaxeshanye. Aba somajukujuku badla umhlala-phantsi beNASA nabo babelana ngokufana kwimbali yabo yesiphekepheke, njengoko ngamnye wayebhabhela kwisiphekepheke sase-Atlantis ngexesha lomsebenzi wabo. I-Kennedy Space Centre yeeNdwendwe zeComplex yamkela aba babesakuba ngusomajukujuku wase-Atlantis kwiHolo yoDumo kwangaloo nyaka mnye njengokuvulwa kwesiphekepheke kwikhaya elitsha lika-Atlantis.

Ngo-2013 Ukuqaliswa kweRokethi okuCwangcisiweyo: Inkqubo enebhongo ye-12 ecwangcisiweyo yosungulo iyaqhubeka ukusuka kwisikhululo soMkhosi woMoya waseCape Canaveral-kunye ne-Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex ihlala ibonelela ngamathuba angcono okubukela-kuquka ukusungulwa okuthathu ngoMatshi:

Ngomhla woku-1 kweyoKwindla- i-Falcon 9/I-SpaceX CRS2 yokuhanjiswa kwemishini kwiSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe (ISS)

NgoMatshi 14 – Atlas V/Space Based infrared System Geosynchronous satellite
