2·"The Solar Probe will literally slice through a bit of the Sun's atmosphere, and that's never been done before," he said.
他说:“SPP计划中的探测器将慢慢割穿一块太阳大气,这将是一个前所未有的壮举。”
3·The Solar Probe Cup will scoop up bits of the sun’s corona and solar wind to continuously measure its speed, temperature and density.
太阳探测杯(The Solar Probe Cup)会收集一些日冕和太阳风去持续地测量速度、温度和密度等数据。
4·“For the very first time, we'll be able to touch, taste and smell our sun, ” said Lika Guhathakurta, Solar Probe Plus program scientist at NASA headquarters.
"这是第一次,我们能够触摸,品尝以及嗅探我们的太阳",Lika Guhathakurta这样说到,他(她)是NASA总部的"太阳探测器+"计划的方案科学家。
5·The space probe, Voyager I, launched in 1977, had sent back spectacular images of Jupiter and Saturn and then soared out of the Solar System on a one-way mission to the stars.
1977年发射的“旅行者一号”太空探测器发回了木星和土星的壮观图像,然后飞出太阳系,执行前往恒星的单程任务。
6·When the probe is 4 million miles away, the solar disk will loom 23 times wider in the sky than it does on Earth.
当探测器到达距太阳表面4百万英里的高度时,太阳看上去将相当于从地球看上去的23倍那么大。
7·The Mariner 10 probe successfully demonstrated the technology in 1974 when NASA used the probe's solar arrays as an impromptu sail.
美国宇航局的税收10号探测器在1974年成功进行了一次技术演示,当时它即兴地用自己的太阳能板当作太阳帆来使用。
8·The probe will travel for 11 months before entering Mars' orbit in August 2010. It will gather data on Mars' space environment and the relationship between solar wind and the planet's magnetic field.
探测卫星将经过11个月的长途飞行,于2010年8月前后抵达火星高空轨道,展开火星空间环境、太阳风与火星磁场关系等领域的探测工作。
9·Caption: the lunar module's starboard footpad and contact probe. In the background are the solar wind experiment, flag and camera.
描述:登月舱右弦支脚和触点探头。后面是太阳风实验的情景、旗帜和照相机。
10·Will the new WISE probe, just launched and due to map the skies in infrared, now "discover" Planet X sitting right next to us in the inner solar system.
是不是新发射的在红外频域扫描天空的WISE探测器现在将“发现”X行星正位于内太阳系里我们的身畔?
