Igikoresho gishya cy’ikirere cyatangiye gukusanya amakuru

Iyi karita, yakozwe hakoreshejwe uburyo bushya bwo kureba bwa COWVR, igaragaza imirongo mishya ya mikorobe ku Isi, itanga amakuru yerekeye imbaraga z'umuyaga wo ku buso bw'inyanja, ingano y'amazi mu bicu, n'ingano y'umwuka w'amazi mu kirere.
Igikoresho gito gishya kiri muri sitasiyo mpuzamahanga y'ikirere cyakoze ikarita ya mbere y'isi yose y'ubushuhe n'umuyaga wo mu nyanja.
Nyuma yo gushyirwa kuri Sitasiyo Mpuzamahanga y’Icyogajuru, ibikoresho bibiri bito byakozwe kandi byubatswe na Laboratwari ya Jet Propulsion ya NASA mu majyepfo ya Kaliforuniya byatangijwe ku ya 7 Mutarama kugira ngo bitangire gukusanya amakuru ku miyaga yo mu nyanja y’Isi n’umwuka w’amazi wo mu kirere bikoreshwa mu guhanura ikirere n’inyanja. Amakuru y’ingenzi arakenewe. Mu minsi ibiri, Compact Ocean Wind Vector Radiometer (COWVR) na Temporal Space Experiment in Storms and Tropical Systems (TEMPEST) byari byakusanyije amakuru ahagije kugira ngo bitangire gukora ikarita.
COWVR na TEMPEST byatangijwe ku ya 21 Ukuboza 2021, nk'igice cy'ubutumwa bwa 24 bwa SpaceX bwo kongera gutanga ibikoresho by'ikoranabuhanga muri NASA. Ibikoresho byombi ni imiyoboro ya micro-onde ipima impinduka mu mirasire karemano ya micro-onde ku Isi. Ibi bikoresho ni bimwe mu bigize gahunda y'igerageza ry'ikirere ya Houston-8 (STP-H8) y'ingabo z'Amerika zishinzwe iby'ikirere, igamije kwerekana ko zishobora gukusanya amakuru afite ubuziranenge bungana n'ubw'ibikoresho binini bikorera mu kirere ubu.
Iyi karita nshya ya COWVR igaragaza mikoroonde za GHz 34 zisohoka n'Isi ku ntera zose zigaragara uhereye kuri sitasiyo y'ikirere (kuva kuri dogere 52 z'amajyaruguru kugeza kuri dogere 52 z'amajyepfo y'amajyepfo). Iyi mibare yihariye ya mikoroonde itanga amakuru ku bijyanye n'imbaraga z'umuyaga ku buso bw'inyanja, ingano y'amazi mu bicu, n'ingano y'umwuka w'amazi mu kirere.
Amabara y'icyatsi n'umweru ari ku ikarita agaragaza urugero rwinshi rw'amazi n'ibicu, mu gihe ibara ry'ubururu bwijimye ry'inyanja rigaragaza umwuka wumye n'ikirere gikeye. Ishusho igaragaza imiterere y'ikirere isanzwe nk'ubushuhe n'imvura igwa mu turere dushyuha (umurongo w'icyatsi hagati ku ikarita) n'inkubi z'umuyaga zo hagati mu nyanja.

Ibipimo bya radiyo bisaba antene izenguruka kugira ngo ibashe kureba ibice binini by'isi aho kureba umurongo muto gusa. Mu bindi bipimo bya radiyo byo mu kirere bya mikoroonde, si antene gusa, ahubwo na radiyo ubwayo hamwe n'ibikoresho by'ikoranabuhanga bijyana na yo bizenguruka inshuro zigera kuri 30 ku munota. Hari impamvu nziza za siyansi n'ubuhanga zo gushushanya imiterere ifite ibice byinshi bizenguruka, ariko kubungabunga icyogajuru gihamye gifite uburemere bwinshi ni ikibazo. Byongeye kandi, uburyo bwo kohereza ingufu n'amakuru hagati y'impande zizenguruka n'izidahagarara by'igikoresho byagaragaye ko bikora cyane kandi bigoye kubikora.
Igikoresho cyuzuzanya cya COWVR, TEMPEST, ni umusaruro w’imyaka myinshi NASA imaze ishoramari mu ikoranabuhanga kugira ngo ibikoresho by’ikoranabuhanga byo mu kirere birusheho kuba bito. Hagati mu myaka ya 2010, injeniyeri wa JPL Sharmila Padmanabhan yatangiye gutekereza ku ntego za siyansi zishobora kugerwaho binyuze mu gushyira sensor nto kuri CubeSats, ibyo byogajuru bito cyane bikunze gukoreshwa mu kugerageza ibitekerezo bishya by’igishushanyo gihendutse.

Niba ushaka kumenya ibijyanye na sitasiyo nto z'ikirere, ushobora kutwandikira.
