第2939期:Carrier rocket launches small satellite
Description
This rocket is a rideshare to space for small satellites. We are the Uber and Lyft of low-earth orbit spacelift.
这枚火箭可以让小卫星搭便车进入太空。我们是低地球轨道太空运输的传送者。
Instead of passengers, the Rocket Lab vehicle carries small satellites.
火箭实验室运载的是小型卫星, 而不是乘客。
This is the amount of space each rocket has for satellites. It's about the size of the back of a pickup truck or the trunk of an SUV.
这是每枚火箭为卫星预留的空间,大约相当于皮卡车或SUV的后备箱。
Just like packing different sized suitcases for a trip, the number of satellites on each rocket varies depending on the size and type.
就像旅行时打包不同大小的行李箱一样,每枚火箭上搭载的卫星数量也取决于大小和类型。
The satellites can be as small as a tissue box, or as big as a dishwasher.
卫星可以小到纸巾盒大小, 或者和洗碗机一样大。
Rocket Lab's Lars Hoffman says, unlike some other rockets on the market, Rocket Lab's vehicle is smaller, and comes with some advantages for satellite delivery.
火箭实验室的拉尔斯·霍夫曼表示,与市场上其他一些火箭不同,火箭实验室的运载火箭体积更小,在卫星运输方面具有一些优势。
If they ride with a larger launch vehicle, it's more like riding a city bus, where it is a little bit different riding.
如果它们搭载在更大的运载火箭上,就更像是乘坐城市公交车,体验会略有不同。
You may not be dropped off exactly where you want to be. For us, where that custom ride takes you exactly where you want to be.
