我國發射“可複用航天器”

China's reusable experimental spacecraft landed at a preset site on Sunday morning after two days in orbit.

我國發射的可重複使用試驗航天器在軌飛行2天后於9月6日上午成功返回預定着陸場。

Xinhua News Agency said its mission was a complete success and proved that the spacecraft is able to offer space round-trip services more conveniently and affordably than existing approaches.

新華通訊社稱，這次試驗取得圓滿成功，證明我國可重複使用航天器可提供更加便捷、廉價的太空往返方式。

The reusable experimental vehicle was lifted into orbit atop a Long March 2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on Friday afternoon.

9月4日下午，我國在酒泉衛星發射中心利用長征二號F運載火箭成功發射一型可重複使用的試驗航天器。

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp said after the launch that the robotic vehicle was tasked with verifying reusable technologies that will serve as technological foundations for the peaceful use of space.

中國航天科技集團公司表示，航天器按計劃開展了可重複使用技術驗證，將爲和平利用太空提供技術支撐。

Experts said reusable spacecraft have a wide range of applications, such as carrying out space tours for civilians, transporting astronauts and placing satellites into orbit more cheaply.

專家稱，可重複使用航天器的應用場景廣泛，例如送旅客去太空旅行、運送航天員進入太空、以更低的成本將衛星送入軌道等。
