The Mars 2020 rover, which sets off for the Red Planet next year, will not only search for traces of ancient life, but pave the way for future human missions, NASA scientists said Friday as they unveiled the vehicle.
NASA的科学家周五揭晓了2020年火星漫游车。该漫游车将在今年启航前往火星,不仅会追寻远古生命的踪迹,还会为未来人类的使命铺路。
The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.
漫游车在洛杉矶附近的帕萨迪纳喷气推进实验室的大型无菌室建造完成,漫游车的驾驶设备也于上周在此处完成了首次成功测试。
Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Florida's Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.
漫游车周五被展示给了受邀记者,该车计划于2020年7月从佛罗里达的卡纳维拉尔角离开地球,飞行七个月后在火星登陆,将成为美国第五台登陆火星的漫游车。
"It's designed to seek the signs of life, so we're carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars," deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.
火星任务的副主管马特·华莱士告诉法新社,“漫游车旨在寻找生命迹象,因此我们要携带很多不同的仪器,这些仪器会帮助我们理解火星表面的地质和化学环境。”
