I te 1 o Poutū-te-rangi, i pānuitia e te kaihanga muka waro o Amerika, a Hexcel Corporation, kua tīpakohia e Northrop Grumman tana rauemi hiato matatau mō te hanga i te whakakaha mutunga-o-te-ora me te whakakaha mutunga-o-te-ora mō te whakakaha Artemis 9 Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension (BOLE) a NASA.
Kei te raru a Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems ki te tawhito o ngā pūnaha whakarewatanga ātea i roto i te hoahoa me te hanga whakakaha. Mā te whakakaha kua whakapaitia ake e whakaatu ana i te muka waro māmā a Hexcel me te prepreg ka nui ake te mahi ka whai hua ki te tūhuratanga o te marama a meake nei, ngā misioni pūtaiao me ngā mahi a Tāwhirimātea.
Mai i te misioni Artemis 9, ka whakakapia e ngā waka pana BOLE hou ngā anga whakarewa me te maitai i whakamahia i mua i roto i ngā pūnaha waka mokowhiti ki te anga whakarewa muka waro māmā me ngā hanganga kua whakapaitia me te whakapai ake, ngā pūnaha whakahaere pana hiko, me ngā rauemi pana. Ngā take tawhito.
Te tono tuatahi mō te BOLE i te wheketere o Northrop Grumman i Cape, Utah. Ka whakamahia te Hexcel Advanced Composites hei hanga i te anga hiato tuatahi mō te pūkaha BOLE, ka whakamahia i roto i te Pūnaha Whakarewatanga Ātea mō te misioni Artemis 9 i whakaritea i te tau 2031.
