我們距離重返月球又近了一小步。 隨著美國宇航局(NASA)的“阿耳忒彌斯二號”(Artemis II)昨日搭乘太空發射系統(SLS)從肯尼迪航天中心升空,人類探索史翻開了新的一頁。搭載四名宇航員的“獵戶座”飛船計劃進行月球飛越,這將是半個多世紀以來的首次。此次具有歷史意義的試飛既延續了阿波羅計劃的輝煌,又將其推向新的高度,將把宇航員送至 1972 年以來人類所未及的距離,繞月飛行後返回地球。 在這段約十天的旅程中,從生命保障到導航系統,"獵戶座"飛船的所有系統都將在深空環境中接受測試,同時宇航員將觀測月球表面,包括從這種視角鮮少見到的月球背面陰影區域。繞月飛行後,宇航員將返回地球,最終在太平洋海域著陸,結束此次旅程。
原文:We are one small step closer to returning to the Moon. A new chapter in human exploration began yesterday when NASA's Artemis II launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) from Kennedy Space Center. Carrying four astronauts, the Orion spacecraft's planned lunar flyby will be the first in over half a century. This historic test flight, echoing the legacy of Apollo while pushing beyond it, will carry its crew farther from Earth than any humans since 1972, looping around the Moon before returning home. During the approximately ten-day journey, Orion's systems--from life support to navigation--will be tested in deep space, while astronauts observe the lunar surface, including shadowed regions of the far side rarely seen with such perspective. After looping around the Moon, the astronauts will return to Earth, ending their journey with a Pacific Ocean splashdown.
