美国国家航天局(NASA)罗曼空间望远镜抵达发射台,任务简报即将举行
NASA Roman Arrives at Launch Pad, Mission Briefings Scheduled
周六,一枚搭载美国国家航天局(NASA)南希·格雷丝·罗曼空间望远镜(Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope)的SpaceX猎鹰重型火箭(Falcon Heavy)从机库移出,抵达位于佛罗里达州美国国家航天局肯尼迪空间中心(Kennedy Space Center)的39A发射台(Launch Complex 39A)。
On Saturday, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope rolled out from the hangar to Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
火箭抵达发射台后,技术人员将其升起至垂直位置。猎鹰重型火箭拥有27台梅林发动机(Merlin engines),均匀分布在中心芯级和两个侧助推器上,可产生超过500万磅的推力。罗曼空间望远镜的大小和重量与校车相当,需要强大的火箭将其送往距离地球(Earth)一百多万英里之外的轨道。
After arriving at the pad, technicians raised the almost 230-foot rocket to a vertical position. The Falcon Heavy has 27 Merlin engines split evenly between the center core and two side boosters that can generate more than five million pounds of thrust. Roman is roughly the size of a school bus and weighs about as much, requiring a powerful rocket to send it more than a million miles from Earth.
上午9点(美国东部夏令时间)的科学简报将通过多个平台进行直播。了解在线观看方式:https://www.nasa.gov/live。
