阿提米絲 2 號乘組帶著深空旅行的關鍵數據返回地球
Artemis II crew returns with vital data on deep-space travel
2026年4月，歷史性的阿提米絲二號任務畫下句點，標誌著自1972年以來人類首次踏入深太空。
In April 2026, the historic Artemis II mission concluded, marking the first time humans ventured into deep space since 1972.
該任務於4月1日從NASA甘迺迪太空中心發射，四名成員——雷德·懷斯曼、維克多·格洛佛、克莉絲汀娜·科赫、傑瑞米·漢森——在名為「完整號」的太空船上度過了十天。
Launched on April 1st from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the four-person crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—spent ten days aboard their spacecraft, named Integrity.
此任務是深太空旅行的關鍵測試，驗證了獵戶座太空船複雜的生命維持、推進與導航系統。
This mission was a vital test for deep-space travel, as it validated the Orion spacecraft’s complex life-support, propulsion, and navigation systems.
飛行利用了自由返回軌道，藉由月球的重力彈回地球。
The flight utilized a free-return trajectory, using the Moon's gravity to slingshot back home.
除了技術測試外，機組成員亦執行了必要的人工駕駛並針對人類在深太空的健康進行科學研究。
Beyond technical testing, the crew performed essential manual piloting and conducted scientific research on human health in deep space.
在2026年4月10日成功濺落後，該任務提供了寶貴數據，為即將到來的阿提米絲三號任務鋪路，其目標是讓人類重返月球表面。
Following a successful splashdown on April 10, 2026, the mission provided invaluable data that will pave the way for the upcoming Artemis III mission, which aims to put humans back on the lunar surface.
這項由NASA與加拿大太空總署合作達成的成就，是一座歷史性的里程碑，證明人類已準備好邁向永續的月球探索，並最終執行載人火星任務。
This collaborative success, involving both NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, stands as a monumental milestone, proving that humanity is ready to move toward sustainable lunar exploration and eventually, crewed missions to Mars.
