Blue起源成功登陆了新格伦火箭的第一阶段,并发射了美国航天局的火星载EscaPADE卫星。
Blue Origin successfully landed the New Glenn rocket’s first stage and launched NASA’s Mars-bound EscaPADE satellites.
蓝地首次成功回收了新格伦火箭的第一阶段,在从卡纳维拉尔角发射后,17层助推器降落在大西洋的一艘自主驳船上。
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.
这次飞行任务因天气和地磁条件而推迟,也使美国航天局的EscaPADE航天器——蓝色和黄金——开始前往火星的22个月旅程,研究太阳风与地球磁场和大气损耗的相互作用。
The mission, delayed by weather and geomagnetic conditions, also delivered NASA’s EscaPADE spacecraft—Blue and Gold—to begin a 22-month journey to Mars to study solar wind interactions with the planet’s magnetic field and atmospheric loss.
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.
这标志着蓝色起源在1月首次发射失败后的重要里程碑,尽管SpaceX在飞行频率、可靠性和政府合同方面仍领先。
This marks a key milestone for Blue Origin after a failed debut launch in January, though SpaceX still leads in flight frequency, reliability, and government contracts.
