10月14日,NASA宣布与三家商业航天公司签订了价值达1710万美元的合同,用以研制专门发射小型卫星的新型运载火箭,从而加强进入空间能力。这些火箭的大小专为发射诸如立方星的小型航天器而设计。当前,立方星尚须通过与较大的主要载荷一起搭载大型运载火箭进行发射,其任务的最终轨道与发射日程也取决于主要载荷。
On October 14, NASA announced a $ 17.1 million contract with three commercial space companies to develop a new launch vehicle designed to launch small satellites to enhance space capabilities. The size of these rockets was designed to launch small spacecraft such as the cubic star. Currently, CubeSun still has to launch a large launch vehicle with a larger main payload, and its mission’s final orbit and launch schedule also depend on the main payload.
