美国国家航空和航天局(NASA)宣布了一项新的载人空间站的基本设计,这个空间站将成为二十世纪九十年代“继续探索宇宙空间的通道”。 NASA局长詹姆斯·弗莱彻5月14日对记者说,即将着手制造的新式空间站价值80亿美元,要比原来的规模小一些。按照设计,常驻宇航员小组在开始时无需在空间站。他说新的空间站设计是根据预算限制量力而行的。他说:“据我了解,一些国会议员希望找到一种办法,由宇航员定期登上空间站进行管理,而不是从一开始即在空间站设置常驻宇航员小组。空间站正是按照他们的愿望设计的”。他还说,该计划的永久性载人的安排需要在三至五年内分阶段进行。
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the basic design of a new manned space station that will be “the gateway to continued exploration of space in the 1990s.” NASA Director James Fletcher told reporters on May 14 that the new space station that is about to be built has a value of 8 billion U.S. dollars, which is smaller than the original size. By design, the permanent crew of astronauts did not need to be on the space station at the outset. He said the new space station design is based on budget constraints. “As I understand it, some MPs want to find a way for astronauts to regularly board the space station for management instead of setting up permanent groups of permanent astronauts at the space station from the very beginning.” The space station was designed exactly as they intended of". He added that the permanent manned arrangement of the plan needs to be phased in three to five years.
