据《德意志论坛报》8月16日报道,西方无论是美国或是西欧,其发射活动似乎又重新开始。美国航宇局开始调试“发现”号航天飞机,准备于明年夏季发射升空。经过长期争论,美国航宇局已与洛克韦尔公司就建造第五架航天飞机签订了合同。欧洲也显示了再次向空间进军的迹象,目前“阿里安”点火时遇到的麻烦已消除。“阿里安”运载火箭的下一次发射目前计划于9月进行。 According to a report by the German Tribune on August 16, whether the West, whether it is the United States or Western Europe, seems to resume its launching activities. NASA began commissioning Discovery space shuttle to be launched next summer. After protracted debates, NASA has signed a contract with Rockwell to build the fifth space shuttle. Europe has also shown signs of moving to space once again, and the current troubles Arion has had in igniting have been eliminated. The next launch of the “Arian” launch vehicle is currently scheduled for September.
