美國宇航員克里斯蒂娜·科赫，創(chuàng)造了女性最長太空飛行的記錄

A US astronaut set a record Saturday for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, breaking the old mark of 288 days with about two months left in her mission.

上周六，一名美國宇航員創(chuàng)造了一項(xiàng)由女性完成的最長單次太空飛行的紀(jì)錄，打破了288天的舊紀(jì)錄，此時(shí)距離她的太空任務(wù)還有大約兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間。

Christina Koch, a 40-year-old electrical engineer from Livingston, Montana, arrived at the International Space Station on March 14. She broke the record set by former space station commander Peggy Whitson in 2016-2017.

來自蒙大拿利文斯頓的40歲電氣工程師克里斯蒂娜·科赫于3月14日抵達(dá)國際空間站。她打破了前空間站指揮官佩吉·惠特森在2016-2017年創(chuàng)下的紀(jì)錄。

Koch is expected to spend a total of 328 days, or nearly 11 months, on board the space station before returning to Earth. Missions are typically six months, but NASA announced in April that it was extending her mission until February.

在返回地球之前，科赫預(yù)計(jì)將在空間站停留328天，或近11個(gè)月。任務(wù)通常為6個(gè)月，但NASA在4月宣布將延長任務(wù)至2月。

The US record for longest space flight is 340 days set by Scott Kelly in 2015-2016. The world record is 15 months set in the 1990s by a Russian cosmonaut aboard the former Mir space station.

美國最長的太空飛行紀(jì)錄是斯科特·凱利在2015-2016年創(chuàng)造的340天。上世紀(jì)90年代，一名俄羅斯宇航員在前和平號(hào)空間站上用15個(gè)月創(chuàng)造了世界紀(jì)錄。

Koch’s extended mission will help NASA learn about the effects of long spaceflights, data that NASA officials have said is needed to support future deep space exploration missions to the Moon and Mars.

科赫的擴(kuò)展任務(wù)將幫助NASA了解長時(shí)間太空飛行的影響，NASA官員稱需要這些數(shù)據(jù)來支持未來的月球和火星深空探測(cè)任務(wù)。

Before breaking the endurance record for a woman in space, Koch set another milestone as part of the first all-female spacewalking team in October. It was Koch’s fourth spacewalk.

在打破女性太空行走耐力記錄之前，科赫在10月份作為第一個(gè)全女性太空行走團(tuán)隊(duì)的一員，創(chuàng)下了另一個(gè)里程碑。這是科赫第四次太空行走。

She previously said she took a lot of helpful advice from Kelly’s 2017 autobiography “Endurance.”

她之前說她從凱利2017年的自傳《耐力》中獲得了很多有用的建議。
