NASA prepares for historic Artemis II lunar mission
NASA 為歷史性的阿提米絲 2 號登月任務做準備
As of April 1, 2026, NASA is making final preparations for the historic Artemis II mission.
截至2026年4月1日，NASA正在為歷史性的阿提米絲二號任務進行最後準備。
This mission marks the first crewed flight of the Artemis program, signaling a return to deep space exploration not seen since 1972.
此任務標誌著阿提米絲計畫的首次載人飛行，象徵著自1972年以來重返深空探索。
The crew will embark on a 10-day journey aboard the Orion spacecraft, looping around the Moon on a free-return trajectory before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
機組人員將搭乘獵戶座太空船展開為期10天的旅程，在自由返回軌道上繞行月球，最後濺落於太平洋。
While the mission will not land on the lunar surface, it is a critical test for the Space Launch System rocket and life-support systems.
雖然此任務不會登陸月球表面，但它是對太空發射系統火箭及生命維持系統的關鍵測試。
The four-person crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, alongside Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.
四人機組包括NASA太空人Reid Wiseman、Victor Glover、Christina Koch，以及來自加拿大太空總署的Jeremy Hansen。
Ultimately, the data collected will help NASA refine technology for future lunar landings and the long-term goal of sending humans to Mars.
最終，所收集的數據將協助NASA改進技術，以供未來的月球登陸及將人類送往火星的長期目標使用。
Despite facing technical hurdles like heat shield performance and fuel leaks, the team has successfully cleared these obstacles, setting the stage for a new chapter in space exploration.
儘管面臨隔熱罩性能和燃料洩漏等技術障礙，團隊已成功克服，為太空探索的新篇章奠定了基礎。
