NASA Assigns 2 Missions To SpaceX For 2025 After Boeing's Starliner Stranded Astronauts
NASA will launch both its Crew-10 and Crew-11 missions to the International Space Station (ISS) with the help of SpaceX in 2025, the agency said earlier this week, while adding that it is yet to ascertain when the next Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:BA) Starliner flight would be.
美國航空航天局本週早些時候表示，2025年將在SpaceX的幫助下發射其Crew-10和Crew-11任務到國際空間站(ISS)，同時補充說尚不清楚波音公司(NYSE:BA)的下一次Starliner飛行將何時進行。
What Happened: The SpaceX Crew-10 mission, carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain, and Nichole Ayers, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, is slated to be launched no earlier than February 2025, NASA said.
發生了什麼：美國航天局表示，SpaceX的Crew-10任務計劃最早於2025年2月發射，搭載NASA宇航員安妮·麥克萊恩和尼科爾·艾爾斯，以及日本航空航天局宇航員大西拓哉和俄羅斯宇航員基里爾·佩斯科夫。
Crew-11 mission, NASA said, is targeted for no earlier than July 2025 and will also be launched aboard SpaceX's Dragon capsule. The agency is yet to announce the mission's crew members.
NASA表示，Crew-11任務計劃最早於2025年7月發射，也將搭載SpaceX的龍飛船。該機構尚未公佈任務的機組成員。
Starliner's Future Flight: Boeing's Dragon rival Starliner, however, does not have a fixed timeline for launch. The timing and configuration of the spacecraft's next flight will be ascertained after considering lessons from its past crewed test flight and operational readiness, the agency said.
星際飛船的未來飛行：然而，波音的龍飛船競爭對手Starliner尚無發射固定時間表。該機構表示，將在考慮了過去載人試飛的教訓和操作準備情況後確定下一次飛行的時間和配置。
"Meanwhile, NASA is keeping options on the table for how best to achieve system certification, including windows of opportunity for a potential Starliner flight in 2025," the agency said.
「同時，美國航空航天局正在考慮各種方案以最佳方式實現系統認證，其中包括在2025年爲潛在Starliner飛行創造時機，」該機構表示。
The Past Crewed Test Flight: Two astronauts launched to ISS on June 5 aboard Starliner. Though the two were supposed to return in about eight days, technical issues identified with the spacecraft while docking delayed the return journey, and the agency subsequently decided to scrap bringing the astronauts back on the Boeing spacecraft altogether.
過去的載人試飛：兩名宇航員於6月5日搭乘Starliner飛往國際空間站。儘管兩名宇航員原計劃在約8天后返回，但在對接時發現了宇宙飛船的技術問題，導致返回之旅延遲，機構隨後決定取消將宇航員帶回波音太空船的計劃。
The Starliner subsequently undocked from the ISS without crew in early September. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will now return with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Grubonov who went to the station as part of the Crew-9 mission in September.
此後，Starliner在9月初無人駕駛從國際空間站脫離。夏妮·威廉姆斯和布奇·威爾莫爾現將與NASA宇航員尼克·黑格和俄羅斯宇航員亞歷山大·格魯博諾夫一起返回，他們是作爲Crew-9任務的一部分在9月前往該空間站的。
