美国航天局的先进综合太阳帆系统(ACS3)成功地部署了80平方米太阳帆,标志着飞行任务的一个重要里程碑。 NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) successfully deployed its 80-square-meter solar sail, marking a significant milestone for the mission. 太阳帆是美国航天局小型航天器技术方案的一部分,于2024年4月发射,旨在展示配备太阳帆的航天器今后科学和探索飞行任务的潜力。 The solar sail is part of NASA's Small Spacecraft Technology program, launched in April 2024, and aims to demonstrate solar sail-equipped spacecraft's potential for future science and exploration missions. ACS3 系统采用轻质、坚固的复合碳纤维吊杆系统和超薄反光聚合物帆，有可能支撑高达 2,000 平方米的帆，产生更大的推力。 The ACS3 system features lightweight, strong composite carbon fiber boom systems and an ultra-thin, reflective polymer sail, with the potential to support sails as large as 2,000 square meters, generating more thrust. 在接下来的几个星期里,特派团小组将测试帆的操纵能力,并为今后的太阳能帆装备飞行任务收集数据。 Over the next few weeks, mission teams will test the sail's maneuvering capabilities and gather data for future solar sail-equipped missions.
