I rere angitu te waka rererangi tuatahi o te United Arab Emirates (UAE) i tēnei rā mai i te Teihana Wāhi o Cape Canaveral i Florida. I whakarewaina te waka rererangi o te UAE i runga i te rōkete SpaceX Falcon 9 i te 02:38 wā rohe hei wāhanga o te misioni UAE-Hapani ki te marama. Mēnā ka angitu, ka waiho te UAE hei whenua tuawhā ki te whakahaere i tētahi waka rererangi ki te marama, whai muri i a Haina, Rūhia me te Hononga o Amerika.

Kei roto i te misioni UAE-Hapani tētahi waka taunga whenua ko Hakuto-R (ko te tikanga he "Mā Rāpeti") i hangaia e te kamupene Hapanihi ko ispace. E tata ana ki te whā marama te roa o te waka mokowhiti ki te tae atu ki te Marama i mua i te taunga ki te Atlas Crater i te taha tata o te Marama. Kātahi ka tukuna mārire te rover Rashid (ko te tikanga he "urungi matau"), he wira-whā, 10kg te taumaha, hei tūhura i te mata o te Marama.

Kei roto i te rover, i hangaia e te Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center, he kāmera taumira teitei me te kāmera whakaahua wera, ka akohia e rāua te hanganga o te regolith o te marama. Ka whakaahuahia hoki e rāua te nekehanga puehu i runga i te mata o te marama, ka tirotirohia ngā toka o te marama, ka akohia hoki ngā āhuatanga o te mata o te plasma.

Ko tētahi āhuatanga whakamere o te rover ko tana whakamātautau i ngā momo rauemi rerekē ka taea te whakamahi hei hanga wira o te marama. I whakamahia ēnei rauemi hei rīpene piri ki ngā wira a Rashid hei whakatau ko tēhea te mea pai hei tiaki i te puehu marama me ētahi atu āhuatanga kino. Ko tētahi o aua rauemi he rauemi hiato kei runga i te graphene i hangaia e te Whare Wānanga o Cambridge i te UK me te Whare Wānanga Koreutu o Brussels i Belgium.

"Te Pokapū o te Pūtaiao Aorangi"

Ko te misioni UAE-Hapani tētahi o ngā haerenga ki te marama e haere tonu ana, e whakamaheretia ana rānei. I te marama o Ākuhata, i whakarewahia e Kōrea ki te Tonga tētahi waka rererangi e kiia nei ko Danuri (ko te tikanga "kia pai ki te marama"). I te marama o Noema, i whakarewahia e NASA te rōkete Artemis e mau ana i te kāpū Orion ka hoki mai ngā kairangi ki te Marama. I taua wā, kei te whakamahere a Īnia, Rūhia me Hapani ki te whakarewa i ngā waka rererangi kāore he tangata i te hauwhā tuatahi o te tau 2023.

E kite ana ngā kaiwhakatairanga o te tūhuratanga aorangi i te Marama hei papa whakarewatanga taiao mō ngā misioni a ngā kaimahi ki Tāwhirimātea me tua atu. Ko te tumanako ka whakaatuhia e ngā rangahau pūtaiao mēnā ka taea e ngā koroni o te marama te whai rawa i a rātou anō, ā, mēnā ka taea e ngā rauemi o te marama te whakakaha i ēnei misioni. Tērā pea he mea whakamīharo tētahi atu mea i konei i runga i te Ao. E whakapono ana ngā tohunga whenua o te aorangi he nui te hēriuma-3 kei roto i te oneone o te marama, he isotope e whakaarohia ana ka whakamahia i roto i te hanumi karihi.

"Ko te Marama te pūtake o te pūtaiao aorangi," te kī a David Blewett, he tohunga whenua aorangi nō te Whare Wānanga o Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. "Ka taea e tātou te ako i ngā mea i runga i te marama i horoia atu i runga i te Ao nā tōna mata hohe." E whakaatu ana hoki te misioni hou kua tīmata ngā kamupene arumoni ki te whakarewa i ā rātou ake misioni, kaua ki te mahi hei kaimahi kirimana a te kāwanatanga. "Kei te tīmata ngā kamupene, tae atu ki te maha kāore i roto i te ao rererangi, ki te whakaatu i ō rātou hiahia," tāna tāpiri.
