美国航天局进行了阿耳特弥斯二号机组月球飞行测试倒计时,为2月8日前的发射铺平了道路。 NASA conducts Artemis II crewed lunar flyby test countdown, paving way for launch no earlier than Feb. 8.

美国航天局已开始对Artemis II飞行任务进行为期两天的练习倒计时,这是50多年来第一架乘员飞行的月球飞行,在肯尼迪航天中心测试了发射前的关键程序。 NASA has begun a two-day practice countdown for the Artemis II mission, the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years, testing key pre-launch procedures at Kennedy Space Center. 模拟包括用超过70万加仑超冷推进剂为322英尺空间发射系统火箭提供燃料,停止点火。 The simulation involves fueling the 322-foot Space Launch System rocket with over 700,000 gallons of super-cold propellant, stopping short of ignition. 包括Reid Wiseman指挥官在内的四名宇航员正在休斯顿进行检疫和监测试验。 Four astronauts, including Commander Reid Wiseman, are in quarantine and monitoring the test from Houston. 如果成功,该飞行任务可不早于2月8日发射,派遣机组人员绕月行近10天,乘猎户座太空舱环绕月球飞入猎户座太空舱,然后在太平洋飞落。 If successful, the mission could launch no earlier than February 8, sending the crew on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon in the Orion capsule before splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. 这标志着美国航天局在1968年至1972年向月球派出24名宇航员的阿波罗计划之后,朝着在月球上建立可持续的人类存在这一目标迈出了一大步。 This marks a major step toward NASA’s goal of establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon, following the Apollo program that sent 24 astronauts to the Moon between 1968 and 1972.
