猎户座回到地球

At 12:40 p.m. EST, Dec. 11, 2022, the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis I mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after a 25.5-day mission to the Moon. Flight controllers in mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston spent about two hours performing tests in open water to gather additional data about the spacecraft. Orion was then recovered by NASA’s Landing and Recovery team, U.S. Navy and Department of Defense partners aboard the USS Portland. Recovery personnel also spent time collecting detailed imagery of the spacecraft before beginning to pull the capsule into the USS Portland’s well deck. The ship will soon begin its trip back to U.S. Naval Base San Diego, where engineers will remove Orion from the ship in preparation for transport back to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for post-flight analysis. Orion is expected to arrive to shore Dec. 13.

2022年12月11日,美国东部时间下午12:40,执行阿尔忒弥斯一号任务的猎户座飞船在完成25.5天的月球任务后,溅落在太平洋上。位于休斯顿的NASA约翰逊航天中心的飞行控制人员花了大约两个小时在开放水域进行测试,以收集有关航天器的额外数据。随后,NASA着陆和回收团队、美国海军和国防部合作伙伴在波特兰号两栖运输舰上回收了猎户座。在开始将太空舱拉入波特兰号两栖运输舰的钻井甲板之前,回收人员还花了时间收集航天器的详细图像。该船将很快返回美国圣地亚哥海军基地,工程师将从船上卸下猎户座,准备运回佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心进行飞行后分析。猎户座预计将于12月13日抵达海岸。
