NASA 阿提米絲二號任務啟程前往月球
NASA's Artemis II Mission Heads to the Moon
2026年4月1日，美國國家航空暨太空總署從佛羅里達州發射了歷史性的阿提密絲二號任務，這是自1972年以來人類首次冒險前往月球。
On April 1, 2026, NASA launched the historic Artemis II mission from Florida, marking the first time humans have ventured toward the Moon since 1972.
這次為期10天的飛行測試是阿提密絲計畫中至關重要的一步，旨在驗證太空發射系統（ SLS ）火箭和獵戶座太空船在載人狀態下的安全性與性能。
This 10-day flight test is a vital step in the Artemis program, designed to verify the safety and performance of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft with a crew on board.
這支四人小組包括指揮官里德·懷斯曼、飛行員維克多·格洛弗，以及任務專家克莉絲汀·科赫和傑瑞米·漢森。
The four-member team includes Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
這個多元化的機組成員代表了歷史上的里程碑，包括首位前往月球的女性、有色人種和非美國籍人士。
This diverse crew represents milestones in history, including the first woman, person of color, and non-American to travel to the Moon.
該任務將繞月球背面一周後，再於太平洋海域落水。
The mission will loop around the far side of the Moon before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
除了測試維生和導航系統外，阿提密絲二號還將打破距離記錄，將人類送往比以往更遙遠的太空。
Beyond testing life-support and navigation systems, Artemis II will break distance records, sending humans further into space than ever before.
成功至關重要，因為所採集的數據將為未來的月球表面著陸和長期探索目標（包括最終抵達火星）鋪平道路。
Success is essential, as the data gathered will pave the way for future lunar surface landings and long-term exploration goals, including eventually reaching Mars.
通過拓展深空旅行的邊界，阿提密絲二號展示了人類的聰明才智與現代太空探索中國際合作的力量。
By pushing the boundaries of deep-space travel, Artemis II demonstrates both human ingenuity and the power of international collaboration in modern space exploration.
