上升中的猎户座
Technicians lift NASA’s Orion spacecraft out of the Final Assembly and System Testing cell on June 28, 2024. The integrated spacecraft, which will be used for the Artemis II mission to orbit the Moon, has been undergoing final rounds of testing and assembly, including end-to-end performance verification of its subsystems and checking for leaks in its propulsion systems.
A 30-ton crane returned Orion into the recently renovated altitude chamber where it underwent electromagnetic testing. The spacecraft now will undergo a series of tests that will subject it to a near-vacuum environment by removing air, thus creating a space where the pressure is extremely low. This results in no atmosphere, similar to the one the spacecraft will experience during future lunar missions. The data recorded during these tests will be used to qualify the spacecraft to safely fly the Artemis II astronauts through the harsh environment of space.

2024年6月28日，技术人员将NASA的猎户座飞船从最终组装和系统测试单元中抬起。这艘集成航天器将用于绕月飞行的阿尔忒弥斯2号任务，目前正在进行最后一轮测试和组装，包括子系统的端到端性能验证和检查推进系统的泄漏。
一架30吨重的起重机将猎户座送回了最近翻新的高空舱，在那里进行了电磁测试。现在，航天器船将进行一系列测试，通过去除空气，将其置于接近真空的环境中，从而创造一个压力极低的空间。这种环境类似于航天器在未来月球任务中将要经历的情况。在这些测试中记录的数据将用于验证航天器是否能够安全地将阿尔忒弥斯2号的宇航员送入恶劣的太空环境中。
