欧洲空间局的目标是Salsa卫星星期天重返大气层,以尽量减少空间碎片。 European Space Agency targets Salsa satellite re-entry on Sunday to minimize space debris.

欧洲航天局(欧空局)将于2000年星期日发射的Salsa卫星首次“定向”重返。 The European Space Agency (ESA) will conduct its first-ever "targeted" re-entry of the Salsa satellite, launched in 2000, on Sunday. 这颗550公斤的卫星将主要在太平洋上空燃烧,目的是尽量减少空间碎片。 The 550-kilogram satellite will largely burn up over the Pacific Ocean, aiming to minimize space debris. 由于萨尔萨独特的轨道,这种重返是可能的。 This re-entry is possible due to Salsa's unique orbit. 欧空局计划在2025年和2026年对另外三颗卫星进行类似的再入大气层计划,以寻求洞察力来创造今后在重返时完全解体的卫星。 The ESA plans similar re-entries for three more satellites in 2025 and 2026, seeking insights to create future satellites that fully disintegrate upon re-entry.
