日本发射“太空垃圾”收集器
TOKYO: Japan launched a cargo ship on Friday bound for the International Space Station (ISS), carrying a 'space junk' collector that was made with the help of a fishnet company.
The cargo ship is also carrying other materials for the ISS including batteries and drinking water for the astronauts living there.
12月9日，日本向国际空间站发射一艘无人货运飞船，并搭载“太空垃圾”收集器。
无人货运飞船为长期滞留国际空间站的宇航员带去其他物资，比如电池和饮用水。
"Have a safe flight," French astronaut Thomas Pesquet said in a tweet from the space station. "Looking forward to your arrival!"
法国宇航员托马斯•佩斯凯（Thomas Pesquet）在国际空间站上用推特发帖说，“安全飞行吧。期待你的到来。”
The capsule — called Kounotori, or white stork — contains nearly 5 tons of food, water and other supplies, including six new lithium-ion batteries for the station's solar power system. Astronauts will conduct spacewalks next month to replace the old nickel-hydrogen batteries that store energy generated by the station's big solar panels.
This is Japan's sixth shipment to the 250-mile-high outpost, currently home to Pesquet, two Americans and three Russians. It launched from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.
“鹳”号飞船，搭载了大约5吨食品、饮用水以及其他物资，包括6颗锂离子电池组成的作为空间站电源的新型电池等。
下个月，宇航员将进行太空行走，替换掉旧的氢镍电池，这种电池储存了空间站太阳能板产生的能量。
这是日本第6次往250英里高的空间站送物资。目前，国际空间站住着佩斯凯、两名美国宇航员和3名俄罗斯宇航员。
飞船是从日本南部的种子岛宇宙中心升空的。

I am surprised that the world community didnt ban from space after it tested an asst missile which broke a satellite into a zillion pieces adding a huge load of space junk

But why they did not take any Dalit onboard to space station ? Only upper caste brahmins were given that opportunity.

为什么不让达利特进入太空站？为什么只是高种姓的婆罗门才会机会？

All the advanced countries should take up this task of collecting space debris in all sincerity. Or else, we may see huge disasters.

否则我们将面临巨大灾难

Good to see Japan has taken the initiative to clean up the space junk, whereas has created space debris. US and Russia has also piled up junk in the past. Hope we would see a junk free and safe space in the future.

很高兴看到日本带头清理太空垃圾，而那个则在制造太空垃圾
美国和俄罗斯过去也制造了大量的太空垃圾
希望以后的太空不存在任何垃圾
