(NewsNation) — NASA宇航员兰迪·布雷斯尼克表达了他作为2027年阿尔忒弥斯III号任务一员所感受到的荣幸。
(NewsNation) — NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik has expressed the privilege he feels of being part of the Artemis III mission set for 2027.
阿尔忒弥斯III号将测试月球着陆，尽管它不会到达月球。该任务计划于2027年发射进入低地球轨道，并将测试会合和对接能力。它被视为实现再次登月的“垫脚石”。
Artemis III will test lunar landings, though it will not reach the moon. The mission is slated to launch into low Earth orbit in 2027 and will test rendezvous and docking capabilities. It is seen as a “stepping stone” toward getting boots on the moon again.
“我们知道（我们的任务）将使我们能够在2028年登月，”布雷斯尼克说。“我的意思是，这是一种荣幸，一种愉悦。而且我们正在加速NASA在太空所做的工作，并展示该国在太空诸多领域继续保持领先。”虽然阿尔忒弥斯II号进行了环月飞行，但阿尔忒弥斯III号将在地球轨道上进行一项或两项月球着陆系统的测试。
“Knowing that (our mission) unlocks the ability for us to land on the moon in 2028,” Bresnik said. “I mean, what an honor, what a pleasure. And the fact that we are accelerating what NASA is doing in space and showing that the country continues to lead in so many areas of space.”While Artemis II took a trip around the moon, Artemis III is set to perform tests with one or both lunar landers in Earth’s orbit.
四人机组将乘坐奥里昂飞船前往地球轨道，在那里他们将与一项或两项商业开发的月球着陆系统会合，这些系统将分别发射。
The four-person crew will travel to Earth orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft, where they will rendezvous with one or both commercially developed lunar landing systems, which will be launched separately.
布雷斯尼克将指挥此次任务。他是国际空间站（ISS）的两任指挥官。该宇航员于2004年加入NASA，最近曾担任远征53的ISS指挥官和远征52的飞行工程师。他累计飞行时间达到7000小时。
Bresnik will command the mission. He is a two-time commander of the International Space Station (ISS). The astronaut joined NASA in 2004 and most recently served as the commander of the ISS for Expedition 53 and flight engineer for Expedition 52. He has logged 7,000 flight hours.
布雷斯尼克从未想过自己会长大成为宇航员，并鼓励他人追逐梦想。
Bresnik never thought he would grow up to be an astronaut and encouraged others to pursue their dreams.
“你唯一的限制就是你自己施加的限制。所以不要让任何人告诉你你做不到。如果当时有人这样告诉过我，我当初会做一些不同的事情，”他说。“幸运的是，我如今站在这里，每一步都把我带到了这里，”宇航员补充道。“但说实话，我真希望当时就有这种自信、这种知识，或者有人——你知道的——那样支持我。”
“The only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself. So don’t let anyone tell you you can’t. And if I had someone telling me that, I would have done things a little differently,” he said. “Fortunately, I’m where I am, and every step has led me here,” the astronaut added. “But man, I wish I’d had that confidence or that knowledge or somebody, you know, being that supportive back then.”
