首次成功降落在海上的新的格伦火箭助推器上, 发射了美国航天局的火星载EscaPADE卫星。 Blue Origin first successfully landed its New Glenn rocket booster at sea, launching NASA’s Mars-bound EscaPADE satellites.

蓝色起源首次成功地恢复了其新格伦火箭的第一阶段,在卡纳维拉尔角的发射因天气和地磁条件而延迟后,将17层的助推器降落在大西洋的自主驳船上. Blue Origin successfully recovered the first stage of its New Glenn rocket for the first time, landing the 17-story booster on an autonomous barge in the Atlantic after a launch from Cape Canaveral delayed by weather and geomagnetic conditions. 该飞行任务还部署美国航天局的双子EscaPADE航天器-蓝色和黄金-在为期22个月的旅程中研究火星大气层及其与太阳风的互动。 The mission also deployed NASA’s twin EscaPADE spacecraft—Blue and Gold—to study Mars’ atmosphere and its interaction with solar wind over a 22-month journey. 这些卫星由火箭实验室建造,装备有来自伯克利大学的仪器,由美国航天局供资约1 800万美元。 Built by Rocket Lab and equipped with instruments from UC Berkeley, the satellites were funded by NASA at about $18 million. SpaceX在飞行频率、可靠性和政府合同方面仍居领先地位。 While this marks a major step toward Blue Origin’s reusable launch goals, SpaceX still leads in flight frequency, reliability, and government contracts.
