目标:国际空间站
标志着那啥(NASA)低轨运输商业化目标又近一步,而NASA将全面转向深空。
Over the last several months, SpaceX has been hard at work preparing for our next flight — a mission designed to demonstrate that a privately-developed space transportation system can deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS). NASA has given us a Nov. 30, 2011 launch date, which should be followed nine days later by Dragon berthing at the ISS.
在最后的几个月里,SpaceX 公司在为下一个发射努力工作——旨在展示一个私人开发的空间运输系统,它担负着为国际空间(ISS)站提供货物的使命。美国宇航局已经给我们的发射时间是11月30日,2011年推出的日期,这之后,应龙停泊在国际空间站的9天。(先翻译那么一段)

“龙”飞船
On December 8,(2010) SpaceX became the first commercial company in history to re-enter a spacecraft from Earth orbit. SpaceX launched its Dragon spacecraft into orbit atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 10:43 AM EST from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Dragon spacecraft orbited the Earth at speeds greater than 7,600 meters per second (17,000 miles per hour), reentered the Earth’s atmosphere, and landed just after 2:00 PM EST less than one mile from the center of the targeted landing zone in the Pacific Ocean.
2010年12月8日,SpaceX成为历史上第一个能够让宇宙飞船往返太空的商业公司。SpaceX公司搭载龙号飞船的猎鹰9号于东部时间10:43 在福罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角40号发射台发射升空。龙号飞船在环绕地球轨道飞行速度大于7600米/秒,然后在进入地球大气层,于东部时间下午2:00 ,精确降落在太平洋不到1英里的目标区域。
