宇航员绕月之家

The Gateway space station’s HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) module, one of two of Gateway’s habitation elements where astronauts will live, conduct science, and prepare for lunar surface missions, is one step closer to launch following welding completion in Turin, Italy.

HALO, shown in this image from Oct. 23, 2023, will next undergo a series of stress tests to ensure its safety. Upon successful completion, the future home for astronauts will travel to Gilbert, Arizona where Northrop Grumman will complete final outfitting ahead of launch to lunar orbit.

Gateway will be humanity’s first space station in lunar orbit as an essential element of the Artemis missions to return humans to the Moon for scientific discovery and chart a path for the first human missions to Mars.

在意大利都灵完成焊接后，门户（Gateway）空间站的HALO（居住和后勤前哨）舱距离发射又近了一步。HALO是门户的两个居住单元之一，宇航员将在那里生活、进行科学研究并为月球表面任务做准备。

这张图片展示的是HALO舱，日期是2023年10月23日，接下来将进行一系列压力测试以确保其安全。顺利完成后，宇航员的未来之家将前往亚利桑那州吉尔伯特，诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司将在发射到月球轨道之前完成最后装配。

门户将是人类首个位于月球轨道上的空间站，是阿尔忒弥斯任务的重要组成部分，该任务旨在为人类返回月球进行科学发现铺平道路，并为人类首次前往火星的任务绘制路径。
