双语太空播报NASA更新了Axiom任务1从空间站出发的报道
NASA will provide live coverage of the undocking and departure of the Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) prior to its return to Earth from the International Space Station.
The four-member private astronaut crew is scheduled to undock from the space station at 6:35 p.m. EDT Saturday, April 23, to begin the journey home, with splashdown off the coast of Florida targeted for about 1:46 p.m. Sunday, April 24. The integrated teams at Axiom Space, NASA, and SpaceX have agreed on the adjusted return plan based on weather for splashdown of the first private astronaut mission to visit the orbital laboratory and the return trajectory required to bring the crew and the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft back to Earth safely.
Teams will monitor weather at the splashdown sites prior to undocking to ensure conditions are acceptable for a safe recovery of the Crew Dragon spacecraft and Ax-1 astronauts.
NASA and Axiom Space will begin coverage at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, April 23, with coverage of hatch closure preparations, which will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, the agency’s website, and the company’s website.
Ax-1 Commander Michael López-Alegría, Pilot Larry Connor, and Mission Specialists Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy will complete 16 days in space at the conclusion of their mission. SpaceX Dragon Endeavour, the Ax-1 spacecraft, will return to Earth with more than 200 pounds of science and supplies, including NASA experiments and hardware.
NASA Ax-1 return coverage is as follows (all times Eastern):
Saturday, April 23
4:15 p.m.– Coverage begins for 4:30 p.m. hatch closure
6:15 p.m. – Coverage begins for 6:35 p.m. undocking
NASA coverage will break between the above events, and undocking coverage will end approximately 30 minutes after undocking when joint operations with the Axiom and SpaceX mission teams ends.
Axiom Space will resume coverage of Dragon’s re-entry and splashdown beginning at 12:45 p.m. Sunday, April 24, on the company’s website.
The Ax-1 mission represents both a culmination of NASA’s efforts to foster a commercial market in low-Earth orbit and the beginning of a new era of space exploration that enables more people to fly on more kinds of missions. This partnership is changing the arc of human spaceflight history by opening access to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, more science, and more commercial opportunities.
NASA将对Axiom任务1(Ax-1)在从国际空间站返回地球之前的脱离和起飞进行实时报道。
四名私人宇航员计划于美国东部时间4月23日星期六下午6:35从空间站脱离,开始回家的旅程,预计4月24日星期日下午1:46左右在佛罗里达海岸溅落。Axiom Space、NASA和SpaceX的综合团队已根据第一次私人宇航员访问轨道实验室的溅落天气,以及将机组人员和SpaceX Dragon奋进号航天器安全返回地球所需的返回轨道,就调整后的返回计划达成一致。
各小组将在离港前监测溅落地点的天气,以确保"龙"号载人航天器和Ax-1宇航员安全返回的条件是可接受的。
NASA和Axiom Space将于4月23日星期六下午4:15开始报道舱口关闭准备工作,将在NASA电视台、NASA应用程序、NASA网站和公司网站上直播。
Ax-1指挥官迈克尔·洛佩斯·阿莱格里亚、飞行员拉里·康纳、任务专家埃坦·斯蒂比和马克·帕西将在任务结束时在太空完成16天的任务。Ax-1太空船SpaceX Dragon奋进号将带着超过200磅的科学和物资返回地球,包括NASA的实验和硬件。
NASA Ax-1返回覆盖范围如下(始终为东部):
4月23日,星期六
下午4:15–覆盖范围从下午4:30舱口关闭开始
下午6:15–报道从下午6:35开始
NASA的报道将在上述事件之间中断,当与Axiom和SpaceX任务团队的联合行动结束时,离港报道将在离港约30分钟后结束。
Axiom Space将于4月24日星期日下午12:45在公司网站上恢复对Dragon重返大气层和溅落的报道。
Ax-1任务既是美国宇航局在低地球轨道培育商业市场努力的一个高潮,也是太空探索新时代的开始,使更多的人能够执行更多种类的任务。这一伙伴关系正在改变人类航天历史的弧线,为更多的人、更多的科学和更多的商业机会开放进入近地轨道和国际空间站。
