Not really comparable, but by no means better for that reason. Still an unknown amount of effort involved in actually landing, IMHO...

NASA optymalizuje wymogi dla SpaceX i Blue Origin. Wszystko po to, by zdążyć z lądowaniem na Księżycu w 2028 roku

Podczas gdy statek Orion (misja Artemis II) radzi sobie w kosmosie doskonale, NASA ma inny, o wiele poważniejszy ból głowy: czym właściwie astronauci wylądują na powierzchni Księżyca?

W najnowszym wywiadzie przedstawicielka agencji przyznała, że trwają intensywne prace nad uproszczeniem i optymalizacją wymagań dla lądowników tworzonych przez Elona Muska i Jeffa Bezosa.

Obecnie architektura programu Artemis zakłada, że załoga dotrze na orbitę Księżyca w statku Orion, a stamtąd przesiądzie się do tzw. Human Landing System (HLS), czyli lądownika, który zabierze ich na samą powierzchnię. Kontrakty na budowę tych niezwykle skomplikowanych maszyn otrzymały dwie prywatne firmy: SpaceX (z modyfikowanym statkiem Starship) oraz Blue Origin (z lądownikiem Blue Moon). Problem w tym, że czas płynie nieubłaganie, a zaplanowane na 2028 rok lądowanie w ramach misji Artemis III wydaje się coraz trudniejsze do zrealizowania. Termin ten ma zresztą ogromne znaczenie geopolityczne – Stany Zjednoczone za wszelką cenę chcą wyprzedzić chińskie plany załogowego lądowania na Srebrnym Globie.

Optymalizacja szans na sukces

Jak ujawniła w rozmowie z serwisem Ars Technica Lori Glaze, szefowa programów głębokiej eksploracji w NASA, agencja poprosiła obie firmy o propozycje na przyspieszenie prac. Kluczowym postulatem okazało się odejście od sztywnego wymogu korzystania z bardzo trudnej i kosztownej paliwowo orbity NRHO (near-rectilinear halo orbit).

Co to oznacza w praktyce? Pierwotnie lądowniki miały dokować do stacji Gateway właśnie na tej nietypowej, eliptycznej orbicie. SpaceX i Blue Origin zgodnie stwierdziły, że dotarcie tam, a następnie lądowanie i powrót, pożera potężne ilości cennego paliwa. NASA postanowiła rozważyć alternatywy. Jak przyznaje Glaze, agencja stara się zbalansować systemy, przenosząc część ciężaru manewrowego na statek Orion, odciążając tym samym komercyjne lądowniki.

Uproszczone procedury na powierzchni

Zmiany trajektorii to jednak nie wszystko. NASA przyznaje, że analizuje dostosowanie wymagań sprzętowych już na samej powierzchni Księżyca.

Oznacza to potencjalną rezygnację z części zaawansowanych systemów komunikacji między lądownikiem a załogą, czy wręcz ograniczenie dystansu, na jaki astronauci będą mogli oddalić się od pojazdu. Krótko mówiąc: przeprojektowujemy architekturę i optymalizujemy ilość zabieranego sprzętu, by lądownik był gotowy na czas.

Przed firmami kluczowe testy

Napięty harmonogram wymaga szybkich działań. Przed SpaceX wciąż stoi ogromne wyzwanie, jakim jest przetestowanie przetaczania paliwa na orbicie (tzw. propellant transfer), co ma nastąpić jeszcze w tym roku. Z kolei Blue Origin szykuje się do lotu testowego bezzałogowego lądownika Blue Moon Mk. 1, który ma udowodnić, że systemy nawigacyjne firmy poradzą sobie z precyzyjnym lądowaniem w trudnym, księżycowym środowisku.

Przedstawicielka NASA podkreśla, że obie firmy „traktują sprawę bardzo poważnie” i wykazują ogromne zaangażowanie, by zmieścić się w wyznaczonym na 2028 rok terminie. Pytanie jednak brzmi: jak wiele elementów architektury misji będzie musiała jeszcze dostosować NASA, by ten historyczny lot ostatecznie doszedł do skutku?

Dlaczego Orion zamilkł na 41 minut? Technologia łączności już istnieje, ale nie dla NASA

Weekly output: phone plans, Nvidia keynote, passkey adoption, Bending Spoons buys AOL, SpaceX simplifying Starship lander, Internet luminaries on the open Web

This is not going to be a great week for normal sleep cycles: Tuesday, I will wake up at around 4 a.m. to spend a 15-plus hour shift working as an election officer for Arlington, and then Wednesday I’m off to Dulles Airport for this year’s final business trip across the Atlantic. I’m departing for Web Summit in Lisbon several days early because the organizers of another conference, the Mozilla Festival, offered a press pass and a travel stipend to cover that event in Barcelona. I’ve heard good things about this conference over the years, so accepting an invitation to spend a few days in one of my favorite cities in Europe was an easy call.

In addition to what you see below, Patreon readers got a detailed recap of how this past week’s event-packed schedule left its own series of dents in my calendar.

10/28/2025: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter

This was going to be a modest update to the guide that I’ve been maintaining since 2014, but T-Mobile jacking up prices while AT&T and Verizon inflicted more modest rate hikes led to us dethroning T-Mo on cost grounds and handing our “for most people” pick to AT&T, which has advanced its own 5G network considerably.

10/28/2025: In DC, Nvidia CEO Touts New AI Partnerships, Goes a Little MAGA, PCMag

Heading into Nvidia’s conference, I was worried that CEO Jensen Huang would go into the weeds about the finer points of GPU architecture. Instead, he used this nearly two-hour keynote to jump from topic to topic without getting into too much detail about any of them–and kept coming back to opportunities to praise President Trump.

10/29/2025: Passkey Adoption Sees Striking Progress, With One Obvious Leader, PCMag

I struggled to get this written at the end of a long workday, resulting in my getting some nuances wrong that required updating the post the next morning.

11/1/2025: Serial Dot-Com Purchaser Bending Spoons to Buy AOL, But Why?, PCMag

Writing about AOL in 2025 makes me feel so old, but as one of PCMag’s graybeards I had to cover the news of Bending Spoons buying the company that once ruled the online world. I got to this story a day after it broke, so I turned that lag into an opportunity to expand the piece with some quotes from a publicist for that Italian firm and from a podcast interview of its CEO Luca Ferrari last year

11/1/2025: After Elon Tantrum, SpaceX Now Prepping ‘Simplified’ Starship-Based Lunar Lander, PCMag

Since I wrote about Elon Musk’s childish reaction to NASA’s understandable concern over the pace of its Human Landing System work, I had to reach for a keyboard to cover SpaceX’s grown-up corporate response.

11/1/2025: ‘The Truth Is Paywalled.’ Internet Vets Lament the State of the ‘Open’ Web, PCMag

This Monday-evening panel was one of the first items on my calendar this week, but having event after event after event follow it led to me not writing it up until Thursday night. Once again, it was a serious treat to hear some of the Internet’s founding figures talk about the state of the thing they invented.
