NASA Prepares for Upcoming Artemis II Crewed Moon Mission
NASA 為即將到來的阿提米絲二號載人登月任務做準備
NASA is in the final stages of preparing for Artemis II, a historic mission returning humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972.
美國國家航空暨太空總署(NASA)正處於為阿提米絲二號(Artemis II)做準備的最後階段,這是一項具有歷史意義的任務,將自1972年以來首次讓人類重返月球附近。
Targeting an April 1, 2026 launch from Kennedy Space Center, this 10-day mission is the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft, which the crew has named 'Integrity'.
此次為期10天的任務目標是在2026年4月1日從甘迺迪太空中心發射,這是太空發射系統(SLS)火箭與獵戶座(Orion)太空船的首次載人飛行,該太空船已被機組人員命名為「誠信號」(Integrity)。
Unlike future landings, this mission follows a 'free-return' trajectory, looping around the Moon's far side to test vital systems like life support in deep space.
與未來的登陸計畫不同,此任務將遵循「自由返回」(free-return)軌道,繞行月球背面(ㄈㄟˋ),以測試深空中生命維持系統等關鍵系統。
The mission features a diverse, four-person crew: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
此任務的機組成員由四名多元背景的成員組成:指揮官雷德·魏斯曼(Reid Wiseman)、飛行員維克多·葛洛佛(Victor Glover),以及任務專家克莉斯汀娜·科赫(Christina Koch)與傑瑞米·漢森(Jeremy Hansen)。
This group includes the first woman, the first person of color, and the first non-U.S. citizen to travel to the Moon.
這個團隊包括了首位女性、首位有色人種以及首位非美國公民前往月球。
Acting as a critical bridge toward long-term lunar presence and eventual Mars exploration, Artemis II represents a giant leap in human spaceflight.
作為通往長期月球駐留與最終火星探測的關鍵橋樑,阿提米絲二號代表了人類太空飛行的一大躍進。
By venturing 4,600 nautical miles beyond the far side of the Moon, NASA aims to verify equipment integrity and inspire a new generation of explorers to look toward the stars.
透過深入月球背面之外4,600海里處,NASA旨在驗證設備的完整性(ㄧㄣˋ),並激勵新一代的探險家仰望星空。
