NASA 的阿提米絲 2 號任務創下距離地球最遠的新紀錄
NASA's Artemis II mission sets a new record for distance from Earth
2026年4月6日，美國太空總署的阿提米絲ㄊㄧˊㄇㄧˇㄙ)二號任務正式達成了太空探索的歷史里程碑。
On April 6, 2026, NASA’s Artemis II mission officially reached a historic milestone in space exploration.
由四人組成的機組員搭乘獵戶座太空船，前往比歷史上任何人類都更遙遠的地球外空間。
A four-person crew aboard the Orion spacecraft traveled further from Earth than any humans in history.
機組員包括里德·懷斯曼、維克多·格洛佛、克里斯蒂娜·科赫與傑瑞米·漢森，目前正針對獵戶座的生命維持與先進導航系統進行測試。
The crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—is currently testing the Orion’s life support and advanced navigation systems.
此外，任務首次啟用了雷射通訊技術，這種技術相較於傳統無線電，傳輸數據的速度更快。
Furthermore, the mission debuted laser communications, a technology that enables faster data transmission than traditional radio.
透過利用月球引力進行節能的「自由返回」軌道飛行，該任務為人類未來持續駐留月球及前往火星的潛在旅程做好了準備。
By utilizing the Moon's gravity for a fuel-efficient 'free-return' trajectory, the mission prepares humanity for future sustained lunar presence and potential journeys to Mars.
藉由向歷史致敬並測試尖端技術，阿提米絲二號成為連結阿波羅時代成就與深空探索未來的關鍵橋樑。
With tributes to history and the testing of cutting-edge technology, Artemis II serves as a vital bridge between the achievements of the Apollo era and the future of deep-space exploration.
