Artemis II指挥官Wiseman讲述最远航程时刻 乘组陆续转入新岗位

美国国家航空航天局(NASA)Artemis II 绕月任务完成后,四名宇航员正陆续转入新阶段。指挥官 Reid Wiseman 近日在西班牙 Tenerife 的 Starmus 音乐节上回忆了任务中最紧张的一刻:飞船越过月球背面时,座舱距离读数越过了任务控制中心给出的最大距离219,667海里,先后跳到219,668与219,669,他一度以为飞船「回不去了」。随后读数开始回落,乘组最终到达距地球219,669海里(252,756英里)处,刷新了 Apollo 13 在1970年创下的人类最远航程纪录。
任务专家 Jeremy Hansen 则表示,乘组在发射前两天讨论过无法返回的可能性,并以平静接受风险的心态进入发射。Hansen 来自加拿大航天局;据 Fox Weather 报道,加拿大航天局称他今后将寻求新的职业机会,同时继续担任加拿大皇家空军预备役军官,并出任加拿大太空计划大使。报道称,Artemis II 乘组已完成各自的飞行任务阶段,陆续离开现役飞行岗位。
接棒的 Artemis III 乘组已公布:NASA 宇航员 Randy Bresnik、Andre Douglas、Frank Rubio 与欧洲航天局宇航员 Luca Parmitano。该任务计划2027年发射,不实施登月,而是在近地轨道测试 Orion 飞船与 SpaceX、Blue Origin 商业月球着陆器的交会对接;按 NASA 现行规划,载人重返月面由2028年的 Artemis IV 承担。
Artemis II Commander Wiseman Recalls the Record Farthest Moment as Crew Members Move to New Roles
With NASA's Artemis II lunar flyby complete, its four astronauts are moving into new chapters. Commander Reid Wiseman recently recalled the mission's tensest moment at the Starmus Festival in Tenerife, Spain: passing over the far side of the Moon, he watched the distance readout climb past the maximum of 219,667 nautical miles that mission control in Houston had given the crew, ticking to 219,668 and then 219,669 nautical miles. "That was the moment that I felt real fear because I thought we had just gone too far," Wiseman said. The number then began to drop, and the crew ultimately reached 219,669 nautical miles, or 252,756 miles, from Earth, a new record for the farthest distance traveled by humans, surpassing the mark set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
Mission specialist Jeremy Hansen said the crew had discussed the possibility of not returning two days before launch and reached an acceptance of the risks rather than relying on bravado. Hansen flies for the Canadian Space Agency. According to Fox Weather, the agency says he will pursue new professional opportunities while continuing to serve as a reservist in the Royal Canadian Air Force and as an ambassador for Canada's space program. The Artemis II astronauts have finished their flying assignments and are stepping away from active spaceflight.
The Artemis III crew has been announced: NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio, with European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano. Scheduled for 2027, Artemis III will not land on the Moon; it will test rendezvous and docking in Earth orbit between Orion and the commercial lunar landers being developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin. Under NASA's current plan, Artemis IV is the mission intended to return astronauts to the lunar surface in 2028.
