美国宇航局的新宇航服将把宇航员送往月球和火星

NASA is planning to go to the moon again in 2024, and the astronauts on board will be donning the newly unveiled xEMU spacesuit.

美国宇航局计划在2024年再次登上月球，宇航员将穿上新推出的xEMU宇航服。

The name stands for Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit, which will include the latest technology, allowing the astronauts to safely explore the lunar South Pole.

这个名字代表着探索舱外活动单元，它将包括最新的技术，允许宇航员安全地探索月球南极。

The future voyage to the moon will include the first woman to make the trek to the lunar surface.

未来的月球之旅将包括第一位女性登上月球表面。

A second orange spacesuit was also unveiled; it will be used for launch and re-entry aboard NASA's Orion Spacecraft.

另一件橙色的宇航服也亮相了;它将被美国宇航局的猎户座飞船用于发射和重返大气层。

The suits were developed as part of the Artemis project. The team behind them is already working on modifications for a possible trip to Mars.

这些服装是Artemis项目的一部分。他们背后的团队已经在为可能的火星之旅进行修改。

The new spacesuits come about, in part, because of size limitations with existing suits — in fact, that's what caused the cancellation the first all-female spacewalk at the International Space Station. Luckily, that issue was resolved and the all-female spacewalk is back on!

新宇航服的出现，部分是由于现有宇航服的尺寸限制——事实上，这也是导致国际空间站首次全女性太空行走被取消的原因。幸运的是，这个问题解决了，女性太空行走又回来了!

The xEMU has been designed for improved comfort, fit and mobility.

xEMU的设计是为了提高舒适性、合理性和机动性。

It even has interchangeable parts for working in space and working on the moon.

它甚至有在太空和月球上工作的可互换部件。

The developers behind the spacesuit say the Mars' edition will eventually include a feature for life support.

宇航服的研发人员表示，火星版最终将包括生命维持的功能。

These will be the first spacesuits worn on the moon since NASA's Apollo program in 1972.

这将是自1972年美国宇航局阿波罗计划以来首次在月球上穿戴宇航服。

NASA also released information on a new space launch system that could support up to 10 missions to help achieve the goal of astronauts going to the moon and to Mars.

美国国家航空航天局还发布了一项新的太空发射系统的信息，该系统可以支持多达10项任务，帮助实现宇航员登上月球和火星的目标。

"It is urgent that we meet the President's goal to land astronauts on the Moon by 2024, and SLS is the only rocket that can help us meet that challenge," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "These initial steps allow NASA to start building the core stage that will launch the next astronauts to set foot on the lunar surface and build the powerful exploration upper stage that will expand the possibilities for Artemis missions by sending hardware and cargo along with humans or even heavier cargo needed to explore the Moon or Mars."

美国宇航局局长吉姆·布里登斯汀说:“我们迫切需要实现总统的目标，即到2024年将宇航员送上月球，而SLS是唯一能够帮助我们迎接这一挑战的火箭。”“这些初始步骤让NASA开始构建的核心阶段,将启动下一个宇航员踏上月球表面和建立强大的探索上阶段,将扩大的可能性阿耳特弥斯任务发送硬件和货物连同人类甚至更重的货物需要探索月球或火星。”
