NASA updates lander plans for Moon landings, finally solves long-festering Orion issue
摘要
NASA在新闻发布会上详细说明了阿尔忒弥斯计划载人重返月球（最早2028年）的方案，并首次系统披露架构调整。SpaceX的星舰着陆器方案改为猎户座飞船在高地球轨道与其对接后前往月球；蓝色起源方案包含四次新格伦火箭发射，不进行航天器间加注燃料，并允许蓝月着陆器在低月球轨道与猎户座交会。
During a lengthy news conference NASA on Friday provided a detailed overview of how it plans to return astronauts to the lunar surface, as soon as 2028, as part of its Artemis Program.
Although much of the information behind these plans has been previously reported in Ars Technica and elsewhere, this marked the first time NASA has laid them out in detail and acknowledged some substantial changes in the architecture.
Most notably, for SpaceX's Starship vehicle, the revised plan calls for the Orion spacecraft to dock with the Starship lunar lander in high-Earth orbit before transiting to the Moon. And for Blue Origin, the mission architecture includes four launches of the New Glenn rocket, but no spacecraft-to-spacecraft refuelings. Additionally, the Blue Origin plans allows for the possibility of its Blue Moon lander rendezvousing with Orion in low-Lunar orbit.
