欧洲空间局(ESA)局长鲁斯特在谈到美国自由号空间站的预算削减对ESA的哥伦布舱计划的影响时说,他已向美国航宇局(NASA)的新局长特鲁利指出,自由号空间站的合作计划应服从政府间的协议,因而是受约束的,“这是至关重要的”。美国方面已向我们保证,这个原则适应哥伦布舱计划。这不是技术问题,而是政治问题。 Speaking on the impact of budget cuts by the U.S. Liberty Station on the ESA’s Columbus plan, said Rust, director of the European Space Agency (ESA), said he had told Trulli, the new director of NASA, that freedom The space station’s cooperation plan should be subject to intergovernmental agreements and therefore be bound. “It is crucial.” The United States has assured us that this principle is adapted to the Columbus plan. This is not a technical problem, but a political one.
