中国太空船与轨道舱成功对接 Associated Press – 8 hrs ago BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese spacecraft carryingthree astronauts docked with an orbiting module Monday, another first for thecountry as it strives to match American and Russian exploits in space. TheShenzhou 9 capsule completed the maneuver with the Tiangong 1 module shortlyafter 2 p.m. (0600 GMT), 343 kilometers (213 miles) above Earth. The dockingwas shown live on national television. Astronautswill live and work in the module for several days as part of preparations formanning a permanent space station. The crew includes 33-year-old Liu Yang, anair force pilot and China'sfirst female space traveler The dockingwas a first for Chinese manned spaceflight. In November 2011, the unmannedShenzhou 8 successfully docked twice with Tiangong 1 by remote control. Monday'sdocking also was completed by remote control from a ground base in China. A manualdocking, to be carried out by one of the crew members, is scheduled for laterin the mission. Liu isjoined by mission commander and veteran astronaut Jing Haipeng, 45, and crewmate Liu Wang, 43. About three hours after the docking the three were shown onlive television entering the Tiangong 1, grabbing handles as they floated alongin their blue spacesuits. They willspend at least 10 days in space on China'sfourth manned mission, which was launched Saturday from the Jiuquan center onthe edge of the Gobi desert in northern China. 关键词：中国太空计划 China is hoping to join theUnited States and Russia as theonly countries to send independently maintained space stations into orbit. Itis already one of just three nations to have launched manned spacecraft ontheir own. Anothermanned mission to the module is planned later this year. Possible futuremissions could include sending a man to the moon. TheTiangong 1, which was launched last year, is due to be replaced by a permanentspace station around 2020. That station is to weigh about 60 tons, slightlysmaller than NASA's Skylab of the 1970s and about one-sixth the size of the16-nation International Space Station. China has only limitedcooperation in space with other nations and is excluded from the ISS, largelyon objections from the United States. China firstlaunched a man into space in 2003 and conducted a two-man mission in 2005. Athree-man trip in 2008 featured the country's first spacewalk. 美联社（北京）-一艘载有三名航天员的中国飞船与轨道舱在星期一对接，这是在追赶美俄太空探索路上的又一个第一次。 神州9号飞船在下午两点钟（0600GMT）后不久与天宫一号实验舱在距地343公里（213英里）上空成功对接，并通过电视进行了直播。 航天员们将在轨道舱中工作生活数日，为将来永久空间站做准备工作。组员包括33岁的刘洋，她是一名空军飞行员同时也是中国第一位进入太空的女性。 此次是中国首次人工对接。在2011年11月，神州8号无人飞船在远程遥控下成功与天宫一号完成两次对接。 星期一的对接首先仍是由中国地面基地遥控完成的。人工对接，按原计划由一名组员在无人对接后进行。 刘洋的小组包括指令长老航天员45岁的景海鹏，和43岁的刘旺。在对接完成3小时后，电视直播中3人进入了天宫一号， 穿着蓝色太空服在里面漂浮着。 此次中国载人任务至少将耗时10天，飞船在星期六由中国西北戈壁沙漠边缘的酒泉卫星发射中心发射。 中国正期望继美国和俄罗斯之后成为首个独立发射空间站的国家。她已经是能够发射裁人航天器的3个国家之一。 今年晚些时候将会计划另一项该轨道舱载人任务。未来将计划载人登月。 天宫一号在去年发射，计划将在2020年被一个永久空间站取代。该空间站约重60吨，比美国宇航局70年代的Skylab略小，大概为16国参与的国际空间站的六分之一。 中国在太空方面与其他国家的合作有限，并且由于美国的强烈反对被排除在国际空间站外。 中国在2003年首次将人送入太空，并在2005年开展了包含两人的航天任务。2008年的包含3名航天员的载人任务进行了首次太空行走。 关键词：中国太空计划 |
