来自贝尔法斯特的天文学家Alan Fitzsimmons教授参与了欧空局赫拉飞行任务,该飞行任务是为收集关于偏转小行星的数据而发射的。 An astronomer from Belfast, Professor Alan Fitzsimmons, is involved in the ESA's Hera mission, launched to gather data on deflecting asteroids. 这次飞行任务的目的是测量美国航天局的DART对小行星地变形的影响以及动能冲击和重力牵引机等试验技术,以便有可能防止今后小行星与地球发生碰撞。 The mission aims to measure the impact of NASA's DART on the asteroid Dimorphos and test techniques like kinetic impact and gravity tractor to potentially prevent future asteroid collisions with Earth. 赫拉将使用火星的引力 于2026年到达小行星 Hera will use Mars' gravity to reach the asteroid in 2026.
