欧洲在澳大利亚发射新Norcia 3号,一个35米深空天线,以加强2026年开始的全球空间飞行任务支持。 Europe launches New Norcia 3, a 35-meter deep-space antenna in Australia, to boost global space mission support starting 2026.

欧洲航天局已在其位于西澳大利亚的站点发射了一个新的35米深空天线“New Norcia 3”,定于2026年开始运行。 The European Space Agency has launched a new 35-meter deep-space antenna, "New Norcia 3," at its station in Western Australia, set to begin operations in 2026. 该先进设施是欧空局Estract网络的一部分,其特点是低温冷却组件接近于绝对零,以探测远方飞行任务的微弱信号,并利用AI优化性能。 The advanced facility, part of ESA’s Estrack network, features cryogenically cooled components near absolute zero to detect faint signals from distant missions and uses AI to optimize performance. 它将支持Juice和BepiColombo等欧空局飞行任务以及未来项目,并加强与美国航天局、日本宇宙航空研究开发机构、印度空间研究组织和商业企业的合作。 It will support ESA missions like Juice and BepiColombo, as well as future projects, and enhance cooperation with NASA, JAXA, ISRO, and commercial ventures. 该项目的经费为6,230万欧元,由澳大利亚提供300万欧元,加强了跨塔斯曼空间合作,并使澳大利亚成为全球深空通信中的一个关键角色。 Funded at €62.3 million with €3 million from Australia, the project strengthens trans-Tasman space collaboration and positions Australia as a key player in global deep-space communications.
