我們離重返月球又近了一小步！在昨天，NASA的Artemis II任務搭乘太空發射系統（Space Launch System，SLS）從甘迺迪航天中心（Kennedy Space Center）發射升空，開啟了人類探索的新篇章。這次將載有四名宇航員的Orion太空船進行月球飛掠，是五十多年來的第一次！這次歷史性的測試飛行不僅延續了阿波羅（Apollo）任務的傳奇，還將人類帶到距離地球最遠的地方，自1972年以來，宇航員將繞月而行，然後再返回地球。在約十天的旅程中，Orion的系統包括生命維持和導航都將在深太空中接受測試，宇航員們還將觀察月球表面，包括那些很少被看到的陰暗地區。繞過月球之後，宇航員們將安全返回地球，以太平洋的水面作為結束他們的旅程。

We are one small step closer to returning to the Moon. A new chapter in human exploration began yesterday when NASA’s Artemis II launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) from Kennedy Space Center. Carrying four astronauts, the Orion spacecraft’s planned lunar flyby will be the first in over half a century. This historic test flight, echoing the legacy of Apollo while pushing beyond it, will carry its crew farther from Earth than any humans since 1972, looping around the Moon before returning home. During the approximately ten-day journey, Orion’s systems–from life support to navigation–will be tested in deep space, while astronauts observe the lunar surface, including shadowed regions of the far side rarely seen with such perspective. After looping around the Moon, the astronauts will return to Earth, ending their journey with a Pacific Ocean splashdown.
