美載人“龍”飛船返回地球

The SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft carrying two NASA astronauts parachuted to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida on Sunday, completing a two-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS).

搭載兩名美國航天局(NASA)宇航員的美國太空探索技術(shù)公司(SpaceX)奮進(jìn)號(hào)“龍”飛船在完成為期兩個(gè)月的國際空間站任務(wù)后，8月2日返回地球，濺落在佛羅里達(dá)州海岸的墨西哥灣。

When the spacecraft splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida at 2:48 pm EDT Sunday, the SpaceX recovery vessel GO Navigator was waiting at the landing zone.

美國東部時(shí)間14時(shí)48分，飛船濺落在佛羅里達(dá)州彭薩科拉海岸，SpaceX回收船GO Navigator在著陸區(qū)等待。

The recovery teams then opened the hatch and retrieved NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, according to NASA live broadcast.

NASA的直播畫面顯示，回收小組打開艙門，NASA宇航員羅伯特·本肯和道格拉斯·赫爾利被抬出艙。

The return of the test flight with the two astronauts from the ISS marks the first splashdown of an American crew spacecraft in 45 years, said NASA.

NASA表示，此次載人試飛任務(wù)中，兩名宇航員成功從國際空間站返回，這標(biāo)志著45年來美國載人飛船首次以濺落方式返回地球。

It also wrapped up the test flight for the first commercially owned and operated crewed spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

這也代表了NASA商業(yè)載人項(xiàng)目下首個(gè)由私營企業(yè)建造和運(yùn)營的飛船承擔(dān)的載人試飛任務(wù)的圓滿成功。
