英语新闻丨中国发射空间站无人货运任务

China launched the Tianzhou 10 robotic cargo mission on Monday morning in Hainan province, sending supplies and propellants to the Tiangong space station.
中国于今天上午在海南省执行天舟十号无人货运飞船发射任务，向天宫空间站运送物资与推进剂。

The cargo vessel's carrier — a 53-meter-tall Long March 7 rocket — lifted off at 8:14 am from a launch service tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan's southeastern coast.
这艘货运飞船由高 53 米的长征七号火箭搭载，于上午 8 时 14 分从位于海南省东南沿海的文昌航天发射场发射塔架点火升空。

After a short flight, the rocket placed the Tianzhou 10 into its preset low-Earth orbit, and the solar wings on the spacecraft unfolded, marking the successful completion of the launch mission.
经过短暂飞行，火箭将天舟十号送入预定近地轨道，飞船太阳翼顺利展开，标志着本次发射任务圆满成功。

As the 20th spaceship and the ninth cargo craft to connect with Tiangong, Tianzhou 10 is carrying nearly 6.2 metric tons of mission necessities, science equipment, and about 700 kilograms of fuel.
天舟十号是第 20 艘与天宫空间站对接的航天器、第 9 艘货运飞船，本次携带近 6.2 吨任务必需品、科研设备以及约 700 公斤燃料。

The cargo includes a new spacewalk suit, a new treadmill and six sets of experimental instruments, which cover scientific experiments in microgravity and fluid physics as well as new spacecraft technological tests.
运送物资包含新型舱外航天服、新款跑步机以及六套实验设备，可支持微重力、流体物理领域科学实验及新型航天器技术试验。

According to its designers at the China Academy of Space Technology, the Tianzhou 10 is designed to dock with the Tiangong space station for a whole year, making it the longest cargo mission in China's space industry.
据中国空间技术研究院研制团队介绍，天舟十号设计在轨停靠天宫空间站一整年，是中国航天史上在轨驻留时间最长的货运任务。

Tianzhou 10's predecessor, the Tianzhou 9, undocked from the Tiangong on May 6 after completing a 295-day flight with the space station. It re-entered the atmosphere the next morning under guidance from ground controllers. Most of the spacecraft disintegrated and burned during re-entry, with a small amount of debris falling into designated areas of the ocean, the China Manned Space Agency said.
中国载人航天工程办公室表示，天舟十号的前序飞船天舟九号在轨伴随空间站飞行 295 天后，于 5 月 6 日与天宫空间站分离；次日上午在地面测控引导下再入大气层，飞船绝大部分器件在再入过程中解体烧毁，少量残骸落入预定海域。
