蓝原首次成功回收了一台新格伦火箭助推器,发射了美国航天局的火星载EscaPADE卫星。
Blue Origin first successfully recovered a New Glenn rocket booster, launching NASA’s Mars-bound EscaPADE satellites.
蓝地首次成功回收了新格伦号火箭的第一阶段,在从卡纳维拉尔角发射后,在大西洋的一艘自主驳船上降落了17层助推器。
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.
该飞行任务由于天气和地磁条件而推迟,还部署了美国航天局的双子EscaPADE航天器,研究火星大气层和磁场与太阳风的相互作用。
The mission, delayed by weather and geomagnetic conditions, also deployed NASA’s twin EscaPADE spacecraft to study Mars’ atmosphere and magnetic field interactions with solar wind.
这些卫星由火箭实验室建造,由美国航天局出资1 800万美元,是为期22个月的飞行任务的一部分。
The satellites, built by Rocket Lab and funded by NASA at $18 million, are part of a 22-month mission.
虽然恢复标志着蓝色起源的重复使用发射雄心壮志的重要一步,但SpaceX仍然在飞行频率,可靠性和政府合同方面处于领先地位.
While the recovery marks a major step for Blue Origin’s reusable launch ambitions, SpaceX still leads in flight frequency, reliability, and government contracts.
