美国国家航天局（NASA）宇航员 Jonny Kim 离职以继续服兵役

在为美国国家航天局（NASA）服务近十年后，包括在国际空间站（International Space Station）执行了为期八个月的科学考察任务，宇航员 Jonny Kim 在该机构的最后一天是周四。他将继续以美国海军中校的身份服役。

After nearly a decade of service to NASA, including an eight-month science expedition aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Jonny Kim’s last day at the agency is Thursday. He will continue serving as lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy.

Kim 于 2025 年 4 月搭乘联盟号（Soyuz）MS-27 航天器发射升空前往国际空间站，在第 72/73 次远征任务中担任飞行工程师，负责开展科学研究。在任务期间，他绕地球（Earth）飞行了 3,920 圈，行程近 1.04 亿英里，并为涵盖技术开发、地球科学、生物学和对未来探测至关重要的人类研究等广泛的科学调查做出了贡献。

Kim launched to the space station in April 2025 aboard the Soyuz MS‑27 spacecraft to conduct scientific research as a flight engineer during Expeditions 72/73. During the mission, he orbited Earth 3,920 times, traveled nearly 104 million miles, and contributed to a broad range of scientific investigations spanning technology development, Earth science, biology, and human research critical for future exploration.

“Jonny Kim 代表了 NASA 最优秀的一面，他是一位不断突破探测边界，同时激励了无数人的杰出人物，”NASA 局长 Jared Isaacman 表示。“他在国际空间站上的贡献推动了关键科学的发展，这将塑造 NASA 未来几十年的任务。我们感谢他对国家和知识追求的奉献，并祝愿他在继续美国海军服役期间取得成功。”

“Jonny Kim represents the very best of NASA, a person who continually pushed the boundaries of exploration while inspiring countless others,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “His contributions aboard the International Space Station advanced critical science that will shape NASA’s future missions for decades to come. We are grateful for his dedication to our nation and to the pursuit of knowledge, and we wish him success as he continues his service in the U.S. Navy.”

作为第 73 次远征任务后半段美国运行段的负责人，Kim 监督了空间站各国际舱段的运行。在本次远征期间，空间站实现了一个历史性里程碑：25 年来首次所有可用的对接端口均被占用。他还指挥了 Canadarm2 机械臂，完成了对诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司新型天鹅座（Cygnus）XL 航天器的首次捕获，为空间站运送了 11,000 磅的补给物资。Kim 和他的俄罗斯国家航天集团（Roscosmos）机组成员于 2025 年 12 月安全降落在哈萨克斯坦。

Serving as the U.S. Operating Segment lead for the second half of Expedition 73, Kim oversaw operations across the station’s international modules. During the expedition, the station achieved a historic milestone when every available docking port was occupied for the first time in 25 years. He also commanded the Canadarm2 robotic arm during the first capture of Northrop Grumman’s new Cygnus XL spacecraft, securing 11,000 pounds of supplies for the station. Kim and his Roscosmos crewmates landed safely in Kazakhstan in December 2025.

“Jonny 一直是该机构不可或缺的一部分，他不可估量的影响将在未来几代人中持续存在，”位于休斯顿的 NASA 约翰逊空间中心（Johnson Space Center）主任 Vanessa Wyche 表示。“从推进开创性科学到激励下一代，Jonny 一直是我们国家令人难以置信的灵感来源。他非凡的才华、决心和毅力将在 NASA 留下持久的遗产。”

“Jonny has been an integral part of the agency, and his immeasurable impact will be felt for generations to come,” said Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. “From advancing groundbreaking science to inspiring the next generation, Jonny has been an incredible source of inspiration to our nation. His exceptional talent, determination, and grit will leave a lasting legacy at NASA.”

Kim 于 2017 年入选 NASA 宇航员，并完成了两年的宇航员候选人培训，其中包括空间站系统、俄语、机器人技术、T-38 飞行操作、地质学、生存训练和太空行走准备等课程。

Kim was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2017 and completed two years of astronaut candidate training, which included instruction in space station systems, Russian language, robotics, T‑38 flight operations, geology, survival training, and spacewalk preparation.

此后，他在位于约翰逊的 NASA 任务控制中心担任舱内通讯员（capcom），支持空间站的运行。Kim 还通过在宇航员探测部门的工作为阿尔忒弥斯（Artemis）计划的发展做出了贡献，他曾领导宇航员机组操作部门，并担任第 65 次远征任务的增量负责人。他作为美国海军海豹突击队队员、医生和海军飞行员的经历，为任务操作和机组支持提供了独特的视角。

He later supported station operations as a capsule communicator, or capcom, in NASA’s Mission Control Center at Johnson. Kim also contributed to Artemis program development through his work in the astronaut exploration branch, leading the astronaut crew operations branch, and serving as increment lead for Expedition 65. His experiences as a Navy SEAL, physician, and naval aviator provided unique perspectives in mission operations and crew support.

“Jonny 以谦逊、严谨和对任务的坚定承诺对待每一项任务，”NASA 约翰逊宇航员办公室主任 Scott Tingle 表示。“他结合了医学培训、操作经验和工程洞察力，加强了我们的团队，并为探测和空间站操作的进步做出了贡献。”

“Jonny approached every assignment with humility, precision, and steadfast commitment to the mission,” said Scott Tingle, chief of the Astronaut Office at NASA Johnson. “His combination of medical training, operational experience, and engineering insight strengthened our team and contributed to advancements in exploration and space station operations.”

Kim 出生于洛杉矶，2002 年高中毕业后应征加入美国海军。他接受了医院医护兵培训，并完成了基础水下爆破/海豹突击队（SEAL）训练，随后加入了海豹突击队第三分队。在 100 多次作战行动中，他担任过医务兵、狙击手、导航员和尖兵，并获得了银星勋章、带有战斗“V”标志的铜星勋章以及其他多项嘉奖。

Born in Los Angeles, Kim enlisted in the U.S. Navy after graduating high school in 2002. He trained as a hospital corpsman and completed Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training before joining SEAL Team Three. Over the course of more than 100 combat operations, he served as a medic, sniper, navigator, and point man, earning the Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat “V,” and numerous additional commendations.

他获得了圣地亚哥大学数学学士学位和哈佛医学院医学博士学位。他在波士顿的麻省总医院和布列根和妇女医院完成了实习。Kim 成为了一名双重认证的海军飞行员和航空军医，在德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂海军航空站和佛罗里达州怀廷机场完成了飞行训练，并在彭萨科拉海军航空站的海军航空医学研究所完成了航空医学培训。

He earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of San Diego and a doctor of medicine from Harvard Medical School. He completed his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Kim became a dual-designated naval aviator and flight surgeon, completing flight training at Naval Air Stations Corpus Christi in Texas and Whiting Field in Florida, and aerospace medical training at the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Kim 正在重返现役，以完成其海军航空训练领域剩余的军事生涯。

Kim is returning to active duty to finish out the remainder of his military career within naval aviation training.

“为空间探测做出贡献并服务于 NASA 是我一生的荣幸，”Kim 说。“在我的职业生涯中，我了解到除了任务、训练和硬件之外，成功总是取决于人。他们是我们最宝贵的资产，以爱和同理心领导是我们实现不可能的方式。我期待着将我对服务的承诺、对太空和技术的持久热爱，以及过去十年中来之不易的经验带入我的下一个篇章，为人类的未来产生有意义的影响。”

“Contributing to space exploration and serving NASA has been the honor of a lifetime,” said Kim. “Throughout my career, I’ve learned that beyond the missions, the training, and the hardware, success always comes down to the people. They are our greatest asset, and leading with love and empathy is how we achieve the impossible. I look forward to carrying my commitment to service, my enduring love for space and technology, and the hard-earned lessons of this past decade into my next chapter to make a meaningful impact on humanity’s future.”
