Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakarewahia angitu i tēnei ata tētahi rokete SpaceX Falcon 9 e mau ana i ngā amiorangi whakawhitiwhitinga hiko tuatahi o te ao. I rere atu te pūkaha nui e 22 ngā rārangi teitei mai i Cape Canaveral Air Force Station i Florida i te 3.50am GMT i tēnei ata (10.50pm EST inanahi), te toru o ngā rerenga i roto i te iti iho i te rua marama mō SpaceX. Heoi, i tēnei wā, kāore a SpaceX i whakamātau ki te whakanoho anō i te pūkaha ki runga i tētahi kaipuke rere, pērā i a rātou i mahi i mua. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakarewahia he waka rererangi SpaceX Falcon 9 e mau ana i nga amiorangi whakawhitiwhitinga arumoni e rua mai i Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 41 i tenei ata. E kitea ana i konei i runga i te pae o te taone nui o Cocoa Beach i roto i te rua meneti te roa o te whakarewatanga. I runga ake i te rocket he tokorua o nga amiorangi i hangaia e Boeing, na Eutelsat Communications i Paris me Bermuda Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS). He ahurei nga amiorangi na te mea ka akiakihia e te hiko hiko anake, hei rereke ki te miihini matū e manakohia ana i nga wa katoa. He painga tēnei ki te hanga i te nui māmā, rite e kore ratou e hiahia ana ki te kawe i te wahie ki a ratou. <unk>Ko te uara o te hiko hiko ko te mea ka taea e te kaiwhakahaere o te rauropi te hiahia ki te iti ake o te wahie i te wa e whai mana ana te rauropi ki te matū,<unk> ka mea a Michel de Rosen, te kaiwhakahaere matua o Eutelsat i roto i te uiuinga i mua i te whakarewatanga. Ki te kore te wahie e hiahiatia ana e ratou - te hydrazine - ko nga amiorangi he iti ake i te 5,000pounds (2,270kg), i te mea he nui ake i te 8,000pounds (3,630kg) me te kore he punaha hiko ioni. Ko te tikanga hoki ka taea te kawe i ngā amiorangi e rua e te waka rererangi Falcon 9 o SpaceX <unk> mēnā kua utaina ki te wahie, kotahi anake te mea i taea te kawe ki te orbit i tēnei whakarewatanga. Na tenei i heke ai te utu o te whakarewatanga - Eutelsat me ABS i utua e tata ki te £ 20 miriona ($ 30 miriona) ia ki te tuu i a raatau amiorangi ki runga i te pere, na te mea ko te whakarewatanga kotahi te utu mo te £ 40 miriona ($ 60 miriona). Heoi anō, i te mea he ngoikore ake te pūkaha ā-ira - e mōhiotia ana hoki ko te pūkaha hiko solar - i te...
Kua eke atu tētahi waka rererangi SpaceX mai i Cape Canaveral i Florida e mau ana i ngā amiorangi hiko tuatahi o te ao. Ka tae ngā waka ā-ao e rua ki tō rātou āputa i te marama o Akuhata o tēnei tau, ā, ka pupuri i te reira mā te whakamahi i te pūkaha ā-ira. Ki te kore he wahie matū ka tino whakaitihia to raatau taumaha, kia taea ai te whakarewa i runga i te rocket kotahi, kaua ki nga whakarewatanga motuhake utu nui.
