Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua tīpakohia e NASA he momo kamupene hei mahi i runga i ngā kaupapa hei waihanga i ngā hangarau mokowā matatau, tae atu ki ngā tikanga whakatere tere ake. Ko ētahi atu kaupapa hei mahi, ko te whakapai ake i ngā wāhi noho mō te tangata, me ngā amiorangi iti hei tūhura i te mokowā hōhonu. Ko tētahi o ngā kamupene i roto i te 12 Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextStep) e mea ana kei a rātou tētahi pūkaha e taea ai te kawe tangata ki Mars i roto i ngā rā 39 anake. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kua tīpakohia e NASA he momo kamupene ki te mahi i runga i ngā kaupapa ki te waihanga hangarau mokowā matatau, tae atu ki te tikanga tere o te pūkaha e mohiotia ana ko Vasimr (whakaahuahia), e taea te kitea ki Mars i roto i te take o wiki, e kore e marama. Ko te pūkaha Vasimr - e whakamahi ana i te plasma hei pūkaha - kei te whakawhanakehia e te kamupene Ad Astra Rocket i Texas. I rongonui to rātau pūkaha i ētahi tau kua pahure ake nei i te wā i whakakitea ai ka taea e ia te whakaiti i te wā haerenga ki Mars mai i ngā marama ki ngā wiki - ahakoa ka hiahiatia pea he pūtake hiko karihi. A, whai muri i te whakamātautau angitu o tētahi tauira i te tau 2013, te āhua nei kei te whakaaro a NASA ki te whakamahi i te reira i runga i tētahi misioni ā muri ake ki Mars. He kupu poto mō te Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, e mahi ana a Vasimr ki te plasma, he hau hiko e taea ana te whakawera ki te pāmahana tino nui e nga ngaru irirangi, ka whakahaerehia, ka arahina hoki e nga mara kaha. Ko te āpure autō e ārai ana hoki i ngā hanganga e tata ana, kia taea ai te whakatutuki i ngā pāmahana paowa i tua atu i te wāhi rewa o ngā rauemi. I roto i te pūkaha rocket, ko te teitei ake o te pāmahana o nga hau hau, ko te nui ake o to ratou tere me te nui ake o te kaha o te wahie. Ko ngā pūkaha plasma he nui ake te tere o te hau i te tere e taea ana e ō rātau whanaunga matū, nō reira he tino iti te kohi pūngao. "Kei te harikoa matou ki tēnei whakapuakitanga, ā, e whakapehapeha ana ki te hono atu ki a NASA i ngā kaupae whakamutunga o te whakatutukitanga o te hangarau", hei tā Tākuta Franklin Chang Diaz, Tiamana me te Tumuaki o Ad Astra, i roto i tētahi kōrero. <unk>Kei te tumanako matou ki te hononga tino angitu i a maatau e haere tahi ana ki te...
Kua tonoa tētahi kamupene i Texas ki te whakawhanake i tōna pūkaha hurihuri. Ko te pūkaha Vasimr a Ad Astra ka taea te eke ki Mars i roto i te 39 rā. Ko tētahi o ngā kaupapa hangarau matatau 12 ka pūteahia e NASA. Ko ētahi atu ko ngā momo noho hou me ngā amiorangi ā-ao hōhonu iti.
