以色列登月失败，印度重返登月竞赛

With Israel’s lunar mission failure, India back in moon race

随着以色列登月计划失败，印度重返登月竞赛

NEW DELHI: The botched landing of Israel’s moon craft Beresheet early on Friday morning brought India back in the race to become the fourth country in the world after Russia, US and to land on the moon.

新德里：上周五凌晨，以色列“创世纪”号月球探测器着陆失败，而印度重返登月竞赛，力争成为继俄罗斯、美国和之后，全球第四个登上月球的国家。

Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) almost lost the race to Israel in January this year when it had postponed its Chandrayaan-2 mission involving an orbiter, a lander and a rover till April. Later, the Rs 800cr second moon mission got delayed again for a month and is now scheduled for May launch.

今年1月ISRO将其“月船2号”任务延期至4月。该任务包括一个轨道器、一个着陆器和一辆月球车。之后，这项耗资80亿卢比的第二次探月任务又被推迟了一个月，目前计划在5月发射。

However, Israel stuck to its deadline and its 585-kg craft with 1.5 metre height was launched by Space X’s Falcon-9 rocket on February 21. After a month and a half in transit, Beresheet was able to reach the lunar orbit on April 4. However, all the efforts of Israeli private organisation SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries failed when the craft developed a technical snag 10 km before the moon touchdown.

然而，以色列赶上了最后期限，于2月21日利用Space X的“猎鹰9号”火箭将其585公斤重、1.5米高的探测器发射升空。经过一个半月的飞行，“创世纪”号于4月4日成功进入月球轨道。然而，以色列私营机构SpaceIL和以色列航空航天工业的所有努力都以失败告终，该探测器在距离月球表面10公里处出现了技术故障

The landing of 3,290-kg Chandrayaan-2 craft will be much more difficult than Israel’s Beresheet. While Beresheet tried to touch down on a plain of solidified lava, known as the Sea of Serenity, which has a flattened surface and more exposure to the sun, Chandrayaan-2 will explore the south pole of the moon, mostly an uncharted territory. Only ’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft had recently in January landed on the moon’s far side, also known as the dark side because it faces away from the Earth and remains comparatively unknown.

“月船2号”重达3290公斤，其着陆将比以色列的“创世纪”号困难得多。“创世纪”号试图降落在一片凝固的熔岩平原上，这片平原被称为“宁静海”，其表面平坦，暴露在阳光下。而“月船2号”将探索月球的南极，这基本上是一个未知的领域。今年1月，的“嫦娥四号”在月球背面着陆。月球背面也被称为“暗面”，远离地球，相对而言仍不为人所知。

Speaking to TOI, Israel ambassador to India Ron Malka said, “Though we landed on the moon but not the way we wanted to. A tiny country dreamt big and made it to the moon. We call it ‘Beresheet Effect’. It is a message to children across the world that they should aspire for big things in life and work hard to achieve them.”

以色列驻印度大使Ron Malka对印度时报表示:“虽然我们登上了月球，但不是以我们想要的方式。一个小国志存高远，并登上了月球。我们称之为“创世纪效应”。这向全世界的孩子们传达了一个信息，那就是志存高远并努力使之成为现实。”

Wishing Isro’s Chandrayaan-2 mission a great success, the ambassador said Israel’s space cooperation with its “strategic partner” India will cover all space technologies which are beneficial for its people.

以色列大使祝愿ISRO的“月船2号”任务取得圆满成功，并称以色列与其“战略伙伴”印度的空间合作将涵盖所有有益于印度人民的空间技术。

Israel and India should plan a joint mission next time. They are brilliant, whether in defence research, space research or even agricultural research. India can benefit a lot from their collaboration.

It is not failure of Israel, but a great achievement to touch the moon. A small nation trying something big.better than rest of mid -East nations.It has also not brought back to India in race , because India was never in moon race . India is taking its own time. But we (Indian) appreciate Israel''s determination, self confidence and attempt. Don''t take it as bad , learn from your mistake and convert it in big success.

这不是以色列的失败，而是一项伟大的成就。一个小国在尝试做大事，比其他中东国家强多了。印度从来没有参加过月球竞赛，印度正在一步一步来。但我们赞赏以色列的决心、自信和努力。不要把这当作坏事，要从错误中吸取教训，失败是成功之母。
