Virgin Galactic wants your help naming its new Delta class spaceship
摘要
维珍银河公司正为其下一代亚轨道太空船征名，该飞行器属于Delta级舰队，将接替曾搭载理查德·布兰森等32人完成12次短途飞行的SpaceShipTwo。公司于8月11日在其官网公布四个候选名称，邀请公众投票，称此举旨在“命名一艘将加入维珍银河不断壮大的机队、开启太空旅行新篇章的飞船”，并强调参与者可“塑造航天历史的一部分”。
As Virgin Galactic nears christening the first of its next-generation spaceship designed to launch customers on suborbital flights, it still is missing a key component—a name.
The self-described "commercial spaceline," which was founded by British tycoon Richard Branson, has turned to the public to vote on what to call the new vehicle. The spaceplane will be a member of Virgin Galactic's Delta-class fleet, succeeding SpaceShipTwo, which carried Branson and 31 others on 12 short hops above the US-defined boundary between Earth and space.
"You can vote for one of four finalist names for a spaceship that will join Virgin Galactic's growing fleet and the next chapter in our journey to expand access to space," the company announced on its website on Tuesday (Aug. 11). "Name a Virgin Galactic spaceship, shape a piece of spaceflight history."
