美国东部时间11月16日星期三凌晨1点47分,一枚太空发射系统火箭载着猎户座飞船离开地球,执行阿尔忒弥斯1号任务,这是美国宇航局深空探测系统的首次综合测试。从肯尼迪航天中心历史悠久的39B号发射场发射升空一个多小时后,猎户座的一个外部摄像机从太空中捕捉到了这张新视角的照片。前景是猎户座的轨道机动系统引擎和辅助引擎,在欧洲服务舱的底部。在太空舱7米长的太阳能电池阵列机翼外,是宇宙飞船美丽的家园。阿尔忒弥斯1号任务将持续近四周,测试人类探索月球和火星的能力。无人驾驶的猎户座宇宙飞船预计将于11月21日飞越月球,在距离月球7万公里的逆行轨道上近距离接近月球表面。

A Space Launch System rocket left planet Earth on Wednesday, November 16 at 1:47am EST carrying the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis 1 mission, the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems. Over an hour after liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39B, one of Orion's external video cameras captured this view of its new perspective from space. In the foreground are Orion's Orbital Maneuvering System engine and auxillary engines, at the bottom of the European Service Module. Beyond one of the module's 7-meter long extended solar array wings lies the spacecraft's beautiful home world. The Artemis 1 mission will last almost four weeks, testing capabilities to enable human exploration of the Moon and Mars. The uncrewed Orion spacecraft is expected to fly by the Moon on November 21, performing a close approach to the lunar surface on its way to a retrograde orbit 70,000 kilometers beyond the Moon.
