美国航天局将Artemis II号发射推迟至2026年4月,原因是火箭密封问题,目标是一架机组月球飞行。 NASA delays Artemis II launch to April 2026 due to rocket seal issue, aiming for a crewed lunar flyby.

美国航天局正准备于2026年4月发射Artemis II号卫星,这是1972年以来第一次对月球进行乘员飞行,因为SLS火箭末级的拆解密封物造成氦流问题,导致车辆组装楼回落。 NASA is preparing for a potential April 2026 launch of Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972, after a helium flow issue caused by a dislodged seal in the SLS rocket’s upper stage led to a rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building. 工程师修补了快速断开装置,正在进行测试,同时更换关键电池和升级密封。 Engineers repaired the quick-disconnect fitting and are conducting tests, while also replacing critical batteries and upgrading seals. 该飞行任务将派遣四名宇航员登月飞行,发射窗口定于4月1日至6日,尽管延迟可能会将发射窗口推至4月30日。 The mission will send four astronauts on a lunar flyby, with launch windows set for April 1–6, though delays could push it to April 30. 美国航天局还将阿耳特弥斯三世卫星着陆推迟至2028年,代之以2027年着陆系统地球轨道测试。 NASA has also delayed the Artemis III moon landing to 2028, replacing it with a 2027 Earth-orbit test of landing systems. 一项名为“NASA Force”的新举措旨在通过两年合同提升内部专业知识，吸引顶尖人才。 A new initiative, "NASA Force," aims to boost in-house expertise with two-year contracts for top talent.
