NASA邀媒体10月29日至30日体验加州Ames登月着陆模拟：为Artemis 2028年登月练兵，报名10月27日截止
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）10月26日宣布，邀请媒体于10月29日（周四）至30日（周五）前往位于加利福尼亚州硅谷的Ames研究中心，参观一套新的登月着陆模拟设施；有意参加的媒体须在10月27日（周二）下午5时（太平洋时间）前向Ames新闻室报名，名额有限、须提前登记，并在报名时注明希望参加29日还是30日的场次。
这套模拟设施组合使用NASA自有与合作伙伴的运动型模拟器，让宇航员与工程支持团队在驾驶商业载人着陆系统真正登上月球表面之前，先在地面获得模拟飞行体验。参观期间，媒体可乘坐垂直运动模拟器（Vertical Motion Simulator）随行体验，并采访相关领域专家。NASA表示，这套位于Ames的着陆模拟由位于Houston的约翰逊航天中心研发，并已整合进最近升级的模拟器飞行甲板。
通过Artemis计划，NASA把下一次登月的时间目标定在2028年。NASA表示，该计划将把宇航员送往月球南极附近执行难度递增的任务，探索月球的范围超过以往，并在月球表面建立长期驻留，为首次载人火星任务打下基础。
NASA Invites Media to Experience Lunar Landing Simulation at Ames in California on Oct. 29-30 Ahead of 2028 Artemis Landing
WASHINGTON — The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on October 26 that it is inviting members of the media to tour a new lunar landing simulation at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley on Thursday, October 29, and Friday, October 30. Media interested in participating should RSVP by Tuesday, October 27, at 5:00 p.m. PT to the NASA Ames newsroom; space is limited, media must register in advance for consideration, and RSVPs should note a preference for October 29 or October 30.
Using a combination of in-house and partner motion-based simulators, NASA is giving astronauts and engineering support teams simulated experience before crew members pilot commercial human landing systems to the surface of the Moon. During the tour, media will have an opportunity to take part in a Vertical Motion Simulator ride-along and interview subject matter experts. The landing simulation at Ames was developed by NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and integrated into the recently upgraded simulator flight deck.
Through the Artemis program, NASA is targeting the next lunar landing in 2028. The agency says Artemis astronauts will fly increasingly difficult missions near the lunar South Pole to explore more of the Moon than ever before, establish an enduring human presence on the lunar surface, and build on the agency's foundation for the first crewed mission to Mars.
