NASA发射毅力号火星机器人用于探测火星生命

NASA Mars rover: Perseverance robot launches to detect life on Red Planet

The NASA Perseverance rover has been confirmed to be healthy and is now on a journey to Mars. It will take between 6.5 and seven months before the rover lands on the red planet in February 2021.

美国宇航局“毅力号”火星车已被证实正常工作,目前正在前往火星。2021年2月,火星车将在6.5到7个月之间登陆这颗红色星球。

“The mission has 314 million miles of interplanetary space and seven minutes of terror to get safely onto the surface of Mars,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s planetary science division, in a statement. “When we see the landscape at Jezero Crater for the first time and we truly begin to realize the scientific bounty before us, the fun really begins.”

美国宇航局行星科学部主任洛里·格拉斯在一份声明中说:“该任务将横跨3.14亿英里的行星际空间,进行7分钟的登陆活动,才能安全抵达火星表面。”“当我们第一次看到Jezero陨石坑的风景,开始意识到眼前的科学恩赐时,乐趣就真正开始了。”

During what is hopefully a quiet journey to Mars, Perseverance’s teams will be preparing and training for when the rover lands on Mars. The science team will prepare the instructions it wants to send to the rover as it uses its instruments on Mars.

在这次应该“平静”的火星之旅中,毅力号团队将为探测车登陆火星做准备。科学团队将准备有关执行探测任务时使用仪器的指令。
