国会将国际空间站的运营延长到2032年,要求美国航天局在180天内签订商业站合同。 Congress extends ISS operations to 2032, requiring NASA to launch commercial station contracts within 180 days.

国会已将国际空间站的运行扩大到至少2032年,以确保美国在低地轨道上继续发挥领导作用,并防止在私营台站准备就绪前出现空白。 Congress has extended the International Space Station’s operation to at least 2032 to ensure continuous U.S. leadership in low-Earth orbit and prevent a gap before private stations are ready. 2026年《美国航天局授权法》规定,美国航天局必须在60天内发布商业空间站的详细要求,在90天内发布正式招标书,并在180天内向至少两家公司授予合同。 The NASA Authorization Act of 2026 mandates that NASA issue detailed requirements for commercial space stations within 60 days, release formal solicitations within 90 days, and award contracts to at least two companies within 180 days. 在私营站达到初始运作能力之前,国际空间站不能退休。 The ISS cannot be retired until a private station reaches initial operational capability. 由于担心基础设施老化和全球竞争,这一延伸支持美国航天局的阿耳特弥斯计划以及月球和火星探索的长期目标。 The extension, driven by concerns over aging infrastructure and global competition, supports NASA’s Artemis program and long-term goals for lunar and Martian exploration.
