Prototypes for the project are being tested at high altitudes by Oregon-based firm Near Space Corp, which employs just 15 people. Tim Lachenmeier, Near Space Corp's president, told Msnbc.com: 'We can simulate the Mars atmosphere that they would have to pass through.'
这个计划的雏形由近空间公司在俄亥俄州高海拔地区进行测试,该公司只有15名员工。近空间公司的董事长汤姆·拉赫迈尔告诉Msnbc.com:“我们可以模拟火星的大气情况,那是他们将必须要通过的环境。”
One of the company's most ambitious projects for Nasa had involved testing the components for an airplane that would be flown to Mars inside a spacecraft, then unfold itself and fly through the Red Planet's thin atmosphere. 'Out of the 4,000 people in Tillamook, not more than one in 10 knows we're here,' Mr Lachenmeier added.
公司为美国宇航局工作工作的最值得推崇的项目,涉及测试被装在飞往火星的宇宙飞船内的一些飞行器组件,它将自己从飞船中分离出来,从稀薄的大气中穿越火星。
Near Space is based in an isolated World War II-era blimp hangar south of Tillamook.
近空间公司建立在蒂拉穆克南部,是一个与世隔绝的第二次世界大战期间的软式飞艇机库。“蒂拉穆克有不超过4000人,不会有超过10个人知道我们在这。”拉赫迈尔先生补充道。
