腾讯科技讯当地时间3月31日周二，美国太空探索技术公司SpaceX载人航天部负责人本吉·里德和亿万富翁企业家贾里德·艾萨克曼在美国宇航局肯尼迪航天中心举行的新闻发布会上宣布，SpaceX人类史上首次全民用太空旅行名单已经公布最后定稿。

Tencent technology news on March 31, local time on Tuesday, Benji reed, head of the human space Department of SpaceX, a US space exploration technology company, and Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur, announced at a news conference at NASA's Kennedy Space Center that the list of SpaceX's first all civilian space travel in human history has been finalized.

除了资助这次飞行的艾萨克曼外，其他三名成员还包括圣裘德儿童研究医院的医疗助理哈雷·阿塞诺、大学科学教授克里斯·森布罗斯基和科学教育家、航空航天数据分析师西恩·普罗克特。

In addition to Isaacman, who funded the flight, the other three members include Haley Arceneaux, a medical assistant at St Jude's children's research hospital, Chris sembroski, a university science professor, and Sian Proctor, a science educator and aerospace data analyst.

根据计划，被称为"灵感4号"的全民用太空旅行任务将在今年9月15日后执行，从发射到着陆可能持续3至4天。伊萨克曼是一位经验丰富的喷气式飞机飞行员，他将担任这次任务的指挥官，他参与了为圣裘德儿童研究医院筹集资金的工作。这位29岁的宇航员将是最年轻的在太空飞行的美国人。拥有地质学硕士学位和科学教育博士学位的私人飞行员普罗克特将担任副驾驶，森布罗斯基将担任任务专家。

According to the plan, the all civilian space travel mission, known as "inspiration 4", will be carried out after September 15 this year, which may last three to four days from launch to landing. Isaacman, an experienced jet pilot who will be the commander of the mission, is part of the effort to raise funds for St Jude's children's research hospital. The 29 year old will be the youngest American to fly in space. Proctor, a private pilot with a master's degree in geology and a doctor's degree in science education, will be co pilot, while sembroski will be mission expert.

艾萨克曼在肯尼迪航天中心39A发射台举行的新闻发布会上说："我相信，历史将把灵感4号记载为太空探索的关键时刻，是迈向人类与太空命运下一次伟大交会的重要一步。"。我们的团队代表了许多最好的人道主义品质，体现了我们的使命理想：领导、希望、繁荣和慷慨。我高兴地报告，我们已经实现了这一目标。"

"I believe that history will record inspiration 4 as a critical moment in space exploration and an important step towards the next great rendezvous of human and destiny in space," Isaacman said at a news conference at Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center. Our team represents many of the best humanitarian qualities and embodies our mission ideals: leadership, hope, prosperity and generosity. I am happy to report that we have achieved that goal. "

51岁的普罗克托说，得知自己被选中，她感到震惊，因为她用艾萨克曼的shift4支付软件来宣传自己的工作。普罗克特曾是美国宇航局宇航员选拔的决赛选手，他说："这是改变我人生的关键时刻。这就是我毕生追求的。我很感激，也很高兴来到这里。能和这些人一起在太空，我感到非常幸运。"

Proctor, 51, said she was shocked to learn that she was chosen because she used Isaacman's shift4 payment software to promote her work. Proctor, who was a finalist for NASA's astronaut selection, said: "this is a critical moment to change my life. This is what I've been pursuing all my life. I'm very grateful and happy to be here. I feel very lucky to be in space with these people. "

同样，这位41岁的球员说，他对自己能走上正轨感到震惊。他的一个身份不明的朋友赢得了为圣裘德儿童研究医院筹款的比赛，给了他机会。"它还是让我觉得有点不真实。我真的无法形容这个与这些人分享那个鼓舞人心的时刻，分享他们对我的慷慨，并把这个信息带给每个人的机会，"森布罗斯基说

Similarly, the 41 year old said he was shocked that he would be put on track. An unidentified friend of his won a contest to raise money for St. Jude's children's research hospital and gave him the opportunity. "It still makes me feel a little unreal. I can't really describe this opportunity to share that inspiring moment with these people, to share their generosity to me and to bring this message to everyone," sembroski said

SpaceX的目标是最早在9月15日将艾萨克曼等人送上太空。当时，该公司没有向国际空间站派遣美国航天局宇航员的常规任务，商业载人飞行安排也不紧凑。这将是第一次全民用的非政府组织轨道太空飞行。

SpaceX's goal was to send Isaacman and others into space as early as September 15. At that time, the company did not have a regular mission to send NASA astronauts to the international space station, and the commercial manned flight arrangement was not compact. This will be the first all civilian, NGO orbital space flight.

艾萨克曼说："我认为这应该传达这样一个信息，即未来即将发生的事情。"。在未来的某一天，50年或100年后，我们可能会有一个月球基地和某种火星殖民地，但必须有一个起点。当任务成功完成后，人们会关注它，然后说，这是普通人每天去太空的开始，这非常重要。"

"I think it should convey the message that what's going to happen in the future is just around the corner," said Isaacman. One day in the future, 50 or 100 years from now, we may have a lunar base and some kind of Mars colony, but there must be a starting point. When the mission is successfully completed, people will pay attention to it, and then say, this is the beginning of ordinary people going to space every day, which is very important. "

SpaceX载人航天部门负责人本吉·里德（Benji reed）说，该公司计划使用此前发射的"猎鹰9号"火箭助推器和去年11月搭载4名美国宇航局宇航员前往国际空间站的"神龙"载人飞船执行这项任务。太空船计划在4月28日将美国宇航局的飞行员带回地球。

Benji reed, head of SpaceX's human space Department, said the company plans to carry out the mission using the Falcon 9 rocket booster previously flown and the manned dragon spacecraft that carried four NASA astronauts to the international space station last November. The spacecraft plans to bring NASA pilots back to earth on April 28.

里德说，在执行"灵感4号"任务之前，将对飞船进行彻底检查和翻新，并配备圆顶形舷窗，以取代对接系统和连接空间站常用的舱口。其结果将是一个无障碍的半球观地球下面和上面的恒星在太空中。""这是有史以来最酷的事情，"里德说。我们已经完成了所有的工程工作，以确保一切安全，我们不排除将这艘飞船用于其他任务的可能性。"

Reid said that before the implementation of the inspiration 4 mission, the spacecraft will be thoroughly inspected and renovated, and equipped with dome shaped portholes to replace the docking system and the hatch commonly used to connect the space station. The result will be an unobstructed hemispheric view of the earth below and the stars above in space. "It's the coolest thing ever," Reid says. We have completed all the engineering work to ensure that everything is safe, and we do not rule out the possibility of using this spacecraft for other missions. "

艾萨克曼和他的伙伴们将遵循与前往空间站的机组人员相同的程序。美国航天局通常依靠空军为"神龙"号载人飞船的空间站飞行提供广泛支持，一旦出现故障，可能导致从卡纳维拉尔角到北大西洋的任何地方的太空舱自动暂停飞行并紧急着陆。SpaceX尚未详细讨论纯商业发射需要何种恢复机制。

Isaacman and his partners will follow the same procedures as the crew going to the space station. NASA usually relies on the air force to provide extensive support for the manned dragon spacecraft's space station flight in case of failure, which may lead to automatic suspension of flight and emergency landing of the capsule anywhere from Cape Canaveral to the North Atlantic. SpaceX has not yet discussed in detail what kind of recovery mechanism is needed for pure commercial launch.

无论如何，与美国宇航局的载人任务不同，"灵感4号"将不会访问国际空间站。相反，它们将被发射到海拔539公里、距离空间站轨道100多公里的轨道上，然后绕地球飞行3天，欣赏地球壮观的高空景色，然后返回大西洋。

In any case, unlike NASA's manned mission, inspiration 4 will not visit the international space station. Instead, they will be launched into orbit 539 kilometers above sea level, more than 100 kilometers above the orbit of the space station, and then fly around the earth for three days to enjoy the spectacular high-altitude view of the earth before returning to the Atlantic Ocean.

艾萨克曼说，他们都将经历一段时间的高强度离心训练，熟悉飞行中可能遇到的重力或加速度的影响，并接受详细的应急训练、技术复习，甚至轨道力学基础课程。总之，"灵感4号"将为首次进入轨道做好充分准备我们不会在这方面偷工减料，"他补充道。我们不会在任何随之而来的训练中走捷径。我完全期待，当我们发射时，我们都将完全有能力和准备作为商业宇航员执行这项任务。"

Isaacman said all of them will go through a period of intense centrifuge training to familiarize them with the effects of gravity or acceleration that they may experience in flight, and receive detailed emergency training, technical review, and even basic courses in orbital mechanics. All in all, inspiration 4 will be fully prepared for the first time in orbit, he said. "We're not going to cut corners on this," he added. We will not take a shortcut in any training that comes with it. I fully expect that when we launch, we will all be fully capable and ready to carry out this mission as commercial astronauts. "

里德补充说："让机组人员安全飞行并把他们带回家是我们的首要目标。我们将为他们提供所需的一切训练，让他们享受太空飞行的乐趣，最大限度地从任务中获益，确保飞行安全，应对突发事件。"（腾讯科技审校/金路）

Reid added: "getting the crew to fly safely and bring them home is our primary goal. We will provide them with all the training they need, so that they can enjoy the fun of space flight, maximize the benefits from the mission, ensure flight safety and respond to emergencies.
