歐洲飛船最後一次爲國際空間站運送補給
An unmanned European spacecraft has resupplied the International Space Station for the last time.
The cargo ship named for Georges Lemaitre, who proposed the "Big Bang" theory, docked at ISS on Tuesday.
The craft carried 6.6 tons of fuel, water, oxygen, food, clothes and scientific experiments to the six-member crew aboard ISS. The vessel launched July 30 from Kourou in French Guiana.
The cargo ship will remain docked with ISS for six months. It will then be allowed to burn up in a controlled re-entry over the South Pacific.
ISS will be supplied in the future by the Russians and two NASA-contract firms.一艘歐洲無人飛船最後一次爲國際空間站運送補給。
“喬治·勒梅特”號貨運飛船星期二與國際空間站完成對接。這艘飛船以提出宇宙大爆炸理論的喬治·勒梅特命名。
這艘飛船爲駐有6名宇航員的國際空間站運送了6.6噸燃料、水、氧氣、食物、衣服和科學實驗用品。飛船7月30日從法屬圭亞那發射啓程。
“喬治·勒梅特號”將與國際空間站維持對接六個月，然後將在受控返回地球大氣層途中於南太平洋上空自行焚燬。
國際空間站今後的補給將由俄羅斯和兩家美國宇航局的合同公司負責運送。
