太空漫遊九個月終結:美航天員返地球倒數




威爾莫和威廉斯將於週二回地球,結束九個月的太空任務

華盛頓(路透社)- 兩位資深的NASA宇航員威爾莫(Butch Wilmore)和威廉斯(Suni Williams)在國際空間站已經待了九個月,預計將於週二早上開始他們期待已久的回家之旅,結束這次不尋常的任務。

在替換船員於週六晚上抵達空間站後,威爾莫、威廉斯和其他兩名宇航員計劃於週二凌晨1:05(東部時間,0505 GMT)從國際空間站解除對接,開始為期17小時的返回地球之旅。

這次的空間站離開標誌著「威爾莫和威廉斯」的漫長故事的高潮。兩人原本參與了一次關鍵的測試任務,這項任務與波音公司的Starliner太空船有關,但去年出現了問題。該任務原本預計只需八天。

他們的返回將搭乘埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)旗下SpaceX公司的Crew Dragon太空艙,這是去年NASA制定的應急計劃的一部分。

這次失敗的測試任務對波音的航天單位來說又是一個打擊,該單位多年来一直難以將Starliner推向市場,與SpaceX的Crew Dragon競爭,而後者在全球人類航天領域佔據主導地位。

最近,美國總統唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)和他的密切顧問、SpaceX首席執行官馬斯克試圖無證據地將宇航員的困境歸咎於前總統喬·拜登(Joe Biden),為NASA的人類航天計劃增添了政治戲劇色彩,讓本已不尋常的情況更加複雜。

在從國際空間站自動解除對接後,宇航員小組預計將於週二下午5:57(東部時間)在墨西哥灣著陸,具體地點將根據當地天氣條件而定。他們將被送往NASA的約翰遜太空中心,進行幾天的例行任務後醫療檢查。

威爾莫和威廉斯是首次搭乘波音Starliner進行測試飛行的宇航員,該測試於六月進行。

由於太空船推進系統出現問題,NASA認為將這對宇航員帶回地球風險太高,決定將他們納入該機構的Crew-9任務。Starliner則於九月空船返回地球。

NASA宇航員哈格(Nick Hague)和俄羅斯宇航員戈爾布諾夫(Aleksandr Gorbunov)是Crew-9的其他兩名成員,他們於九月乘搭Crew Dragon太空艙前往國際空間站,並將於週二與威爾莫和威廉斯一起返回。

NASA之前計劃於週三晚上讓Crew-9回程,但由於週後天氣不佳,將使Crew Dragon太空艙的返回變得複雜,因此該機構決定將回程提前至週二。

威爾莫和威廉斯的任務已轉變為NASA正常的國際空間站輪換,他們與其他五名宇航員一起進行科學研究和例行維護。

國際空間站的高度約為254英里,是一個足球場大小的研究實驗室,近25年來持續由國際宇航員組成的船員駐守,這是一個主要由美國和俄羅斯管理的科學外交關鍵平台。

這次任務的結束不僅是對威爾莫和威廉斯的個人勝利,也是對NASA整體人類航天計劃的一次重要考驗。隨著太空探索的技術不斷演進,NASA面臨著如何與私營企業如SpaceX競爭的挑戰。這次事件顯示出傳統航天公司在技術開發上可能遇到的障礙,尤其是在推進系統和任務管理方面的風險。這也引發了對未來太空任務安全性和可靠性的深思,尤其是在面對政治因素影響的情況下。NASA需要重新評估其與商業夥伴的合作策略,以確保人類航天計劃的持續成功。

Create an image that captures a person working on a laptop while sitting on a wooden beach chair on a sandy beach.
