总统授予美国国家航天局（NASA）Artemis II 机组人员最高航天奖项

周五，美国总统唐纳德·J·特朗普向美国国家航天局（NASA）宇航员Reid Wiseman、Victor Glover和Christina Koch，以及加拿大宇航局（Canadian Space Agency，CSA）宇航员Jeremy Hansen颁发了国会太空荣誉勋章，以表彰他们在Artemis II任务期间的服务。他在休斯敦NASA约翰逊空间中心（Johnson Space Center）举行的仪式上颁发了这些奖项，这是自2023年以来首次颁发该奖章。

President Donald J. Trump awarded NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor Friday for their service during the Artemis II mission. He presented the awards during a ceremony at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, honoring the first medal recipients since 2023.

NASA历史性的Artemis II任务于4月1日发射，并于4月10日在太平洋安全溅落。机组人员是首批乘坐该机构SLS（Space Launch System）火箭发射的宇航员，他们乘坐的是NASA的猎户座（Orion）飞船，机组将其命名为“Integrity”。在这次创纪录的任务中，宇航员们距离地球252,756英里，比以往任何人类走得都远，超过了1970年阿波罗（Apollo）13号宇航员创下的纪录。他们总共飞行了695,081英里，其中包括一次绕月飞行。

NASA’s historic Artemis II mission launched on April 1, and splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean on April 10. The crew members were the first astronauts to launch on the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, flying aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft, which the crew named Integrity. During their record-setting mission, the astronauts traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, farther than any humans have traveled before, surpassing a previous record set by Apollo 13 astronauts in 1970. In total, they flew 695,081 miles, including a lunar flyby.

“我们聚集在这片历史性的土地上，庆祝四位无畏太空英雄的巨大勇气，他们的冒险精神引领他们走得比以往任何人都更远，远离地球，”特朗普总统说。“今天，我们自豪地将国会太空荣誉勋章授予Artemis II的杰出机组人员。这些宇航员并非孤军奋战。我要向所有工程师、科学家、发射和着陆专家，以及NASA所有帮助使这次任务取得巨大成功的人员致敬。”

“We gather on these historic grounds to celebrate the immense courage of four intrepid space heroes whose sense of daring and adventure led them further from Earth than anyone has ever traveled ever before,” said President Trump. “Today we’re proudly awarding the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the remarkable crew of Artemis II. These astronauts did not do it alone. I want to salute all of the engineers, and scientists, launch and landing specialists, everyone at NASA who helped make this mission a great success.”

国会太空荣誉勋章由国会于1969年授权设立，旨在表彰在履行职责过程中表现出非凡勇敢和功绩，并为国家和人类福祉做出贡献的宇航员。自航天计划开始以来，该奖项目前共有34位获得者，其中包括被追授该奖项的阿波罗1号（Apollo 1）、挑战者号（Challenger）和哥伦比亚号（Columbia）的机组人员。

The Congressional Space Medal of Honor was authorized by Congress in 1969 to recognize an astronaut who in the performance of duties has distinguished himself or herself by exceptionally brave and meritorious efforts, and contributions to the welfare of the nation and humanity. There now are 34 recipients of the award since the beginning of the space program, including the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia who received the award posthumously.

“特朗普总统的领导力使美国重回世界航天领先地位，从创建Artemis计划到为NASA提供资源和使命以赢得这场新的太空竞赛，”NASA局长Jared Isaacman说。“Artemis II机组人员以非凡的技能和勇气回应了这一号召，再次向世界展示了月球，以及美国领导力和探索精神的最佳状态。他们的成就是由杰出的NASA员工，以及我们的行业和国际合作伙伴共同实现的，他们再次证明了当我们致力于宏大、大胆的事业时，能够取得什么样的成就。我们将在此成功基础上，重返月面（lunar surface），并在月球上建立持久的存在。”

“President Trump’s leadership has put America back on a path to lead the world in space, from creating the Artemis program to giving NASA the resources and mandate to win this new space race,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “The Artemis II crew answered that call with extraordinary skill and courage, showing the world the Moon again and what American leadership and exploration look like at their best. Their achievement was made possible by the exceptional NASA workforce, alongside our industry and international partners, who showed once again what can be accomplished when we commit to big, bold endeavors. We will build on this success as we return to the lunar surface and establish an enduring presence on the Moon.”

NASA Artemis计划下的首次载人任务为2027年Artemis III在近地轨道（low earth orbit）的测试飞行铺平了道路，该测试旨在演示猎户座与商业载人着陆系统之间的交会对接能力，以及2028年的Artemis IV任务，该任务将使美国宇航员重返月面。

The first crewed mission under NASA’s Artemis program paved the way for the 2027 Artemis III test flight in low Earth orbit to demonstrate rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial human landing systems, and the Artemis IV mission in 2028, which will return American astronauts to the lunar surface.

“能与Victor、Christina和Jeremy一起乘坐‘Integrity’号绕月飞行，是我一生中最大的荣幸。特朗普总统亲临该机构的约翰逊空间中心来表彰NASA和我的机组人员，这凸显了我们团队所取得成就的重要性，”担任任务指挥官的Wiseman说。“我迫不及待地想看到我的朋友们在Artemis III上延续这一传奇。”

“It was the honor of my lifetime to fly on Integrity around the Moon with Victor, Christina, and Jeremy. Having President Trump here at the agency’s Johnson Space Center to honor NASA and my crew underscores the significance of what our teams accomplished,” said Wiseman, who served as commander of the mission. “I can’t wait to see my friends continue this legacy on Artemis III.”

Glover担任了猎户座飞船的驾驶员。

Glover served as pilot of the Orion spacecraft.

“第一次在太空中驾驶猎户座是一种深远的荣誉，这得益于无数人为任务贡献时间和才华所付出的多年辛勤工作、奉献和专业知识，”Glover说。“我们与成千上万将我们送往月球并安全带回地球的人们分享这份荣誉。”

“Piloting Orion for the first time in space was a profound honor, made possible because of the years of hard work, dedication, and expertise by countless individuals dedicating their time and talents to the mission,” said Glover. “We share this recognition with the thousands of people who launched us around the Moon and brought us safely back to Earth.”

Koch担任任务专家。

Koch served as a mission specialist.

“地球上对我们任务的反应超出了我们的想象，也是我们所希望的一切。每当我们听到关注我们旅程的人们的声音时，我们都心存感激。作为这项共同任务的团队成员，我们接受这个奖项是为了向那些使之成为现实的人们致敬，从工厂车间到洁净室和任务控制室，”Koch说。

“The response to our mission here on Earth was beyond anything we ever imagined and all we ever hoped for. We are grateful every time we hear from people who followed along with our journey. As team members on this shared mission, we accept this award to honor those who made it happen, from factory floors to clean rooms and mission control rooms,” said Koch.

Hansen也担任任务专家。

Hansen also served as a mission specialist.

“能与我的Artemis II机组同伴一起获得国会太空荣誉勋章是一种荣幸，”Hansen说。“我与加拿大、美国以及使任务成为可能的国际合作伙伴的敬业团队分享这份荣誉。Artemis II展示了当我们设定雄心勃勃的目标并共同努力时，我们能为人类实现什么。对于加拿大来说，这次任务和整个Artemis计划不仅仅是重返月球。它关乎对卓越和协作的追求。”

“It is a privilege to receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor alongside my Artemis II crewmates,” said Hansen. “I share this recognition with the dedicated teams in Canada, the United States, and our international partners who made the mission possible. Artemis II showed what we can accomplish for humanity when we set ambitious goals and work together. For Canada, the mission and the Artemis program as a whole are about much more than just going back to the Moon. It is about the pursuit of excellence and collaboration.”

作为创新与探索黄金时代的一部分，NASA将派遣Artemis宇航员执行一系列具有挑战性的任务，以探索更多的月球，并在月面上建立一个用于长期探索的月球基地。这些任务将为派遣首批宇航员——美国人——前往火星（Mars）奠定基础。了解更多：

As part of a Golden Age of innovation and exploration, NASA will send Artemis astronauts on a series of challenging missions to explore more of the Moon and establish a Moon Base on the lunar surface for long-term exploration. These missions will set the stage for sending the first astronauts — Americans — to Mars. Learn more:
