Chandrayaan-2 launch delayed, likely to take off only after Oct

月船2号发射推迟，可能10月后发射

MUMBAI: India’s second mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-2, is likely to be launched only in October. Further delays cannot be ruled out if systems are not yet in place by then.

印度的第二个月球探测器“月船2号”可能10月后才可能发射。

到时候，系统没有就位的话，不排除进一步推迟发射的可能。

月船1号

An Isro official told TOIseveral tests have to be done and arrangements need to be made. “We do not want to be in a hurry,” he said. Chandrayaan-2 consists of an orbiter with one-year mission span, a lander and a rover that can operate for 14 to 15 days on the lunar surface. The rocket will be GSLV Mark 2.

印度空间研究组织一位官员对印度时报记者说，必须先进行多次试验，然后才能安排发射。

他说，“我们不想匆忙发射。”

据了解，“月船2号”包括一个寿命一年的轨道飞行器，一个登陆器，以及一个可以在月球表面行进14-15天的月球车。

The original plan envisaged the launch between April and November with the real target focussed for April. Top Isro officials had expressed confidence that the takeoff will happen in April.

原先的计划是在4月到9月期间择机发射，一般是4月发射。

印度空间研究组织的高官之前就表达过4月发射的信心。

But on Friday, it was stated the lunar mission was not yet ready for an April lift-off and much still needs to be done. If the mission is launched in October, it will mark the 10th anniversary of the launch of the first Indian lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, which lifted off on October 22, 2008.

然而3月2日这天，又说此次任务还没准备就绪，4月发射太仓促，还有很多事情要处理。

如果推迟到10月发射，那么刚好是印度第一次发射月球探测器“月船1号”10周年。

2008年10月22日，印度发射了“月船1号”。

你们是我们皇冠上的明珠。

别着急，慢慢来。

晚些成功比匆忙发射而失败更好
