India-born engineer has key role in Nasa Artemis mission

印度裔工程师在NASA“阿尔忒弥斯”任务中发挥关键作用

MELBOURNE: As the first leg of Artemis, Nasa’s ambitious project to send a spacecraft into deep space, begins, overseeing the rocket’s core stage, or its backbone, will be Coimbatore-born Subashini Iyer.

NASA雄心勃勃的“阿尔特弥斯”计划的第一程，将航天器送入深空，然后开始监督火箭的核心级，即火箭的主干，这部分将由在哥印拜托出生的苏巴希尼·耶尔负责。

“It has been nearly 50 years since we last stepped on the moon … We are getting ready to take humans back to the moon and beyond, to Mars,” Iyer told TOI.

耶尔告诉《印度时报》：“距离我们上一次登上月球已经有近50年了……我们正准备把人送上月球和火星之外的地方。”

Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight of the spacecraft Orion, the first of three complex missions for exploration on the moon and Mars. Orion will travel 280,000 miles (over 4,50,000 km) from Earth, thousands of miles beyond the moon in a three-week mission.

“阿尔忒弥斯1号”任务将是“猎户座”飞船的一次无人飞行，是三次探测月球和火星复杂任务中的首次。“猎户座”将从地球出发，飞行28万英里(超过4.5万公里)，距离月球数千英里，执行为期三周的任务。

It will collect data while mission controllers will go over the performance of the spacecraft to set the stage for Artemis II, when a crewed spacecraft will orbit the moon. In 2024, Artemis III will take astronauts to the moon.

它将收集数据，同时任务控制人员将检查航天器的性能，为载人航天器“阿尔忒弥斯2号”的运行做准备。2024年，“阿尔忒弥斯3号”将把宇航员送上月球。

As the launch integrated product team lead with Boeing, Iyer is engaged with the component of the Artemis I which will take Orion into space — the Space Launch System (SLS) — whose core stage arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in late April.

作为由波音公司领导的发射集成产品团队，耶尔正在参与建造将“猎户座”送入太空的“阿尔特弥斯1号”的组成部分——太空发射系统(SLS)——其核心级已于4月下旬抵达肯尼迪航天中心。

She has been involved with SLS for two years now. “My role involves overseeing any support that Nasa needs once the core stage is built and handed over to Nasa,” Iyer said.

她已经参与SLS两年了。耶尔说:“一旦核心级建成并移交给NASA，我的职责就是监督NASA需要的任何支持。”

Iyer was one of the first women to graduate in mechanical engineering in her college, VLB Janakiammal College, in 1992. Now, she leads a diverse team of mechanical and electrical engineers.

耶尔是1992年在VLB janakiamal学院机械工程专业毕业的第一批女性之一。现在，她领导着一个由机械和电气工程师组成的多元化团队。

When will our craze end for Indian Americans?They leave for better opportunities because their own motherland doesn't have the necessary infrastructure/facilities to sustain them . Corruption is rampant. No one talks about real issues.Their contribution to India and Indians is nothing.

我们对印度裔美国人的狂热到什么时候才会结束？

他们为了更好的机会而离开，因为他们的祖国没有必要的基础设施/设施来支持他们。

印度腐 败猖獗，没有人谈论真正的问题。他们对我们国家没有做任何贡献啊。

While we laud and praise Indian origin people doing extremely well in other countries, we fail to even understand that while these same people studied in India, our govt did not provide any opportunity to retain them in our country.
