根據白宮發布的該項名為“確保美國太空優勢”的行政令,美國政府將調整其太空政策。在備受關注的探月方面,行政令說,通過阿耳忒彌斯計劃,在2028年前使美國人重返月球;到2030年建立“永久性月球前哨站的初步要素”,并為下一步火星探索奠定基礎。
The order — "Ensuring American Space Superiority" — sets "a bold vision" for "an America First space policy", seeking to ensure that the United States leads the world in space exploration, security and commerce, according to the White House.
另一個關注點是在太空應用核能。行政令稱,要實現近期利用太空核能,措施包括在月球和太空軌道上部署核反應堆,在2030年前發射月球表面反應堆。行政令還說,要有識別和應對美國太空利益面臨威脅的能力,包括在太空中部署核武器等。
The order calls for Americans' return to the Moon by 2028, and the establishment of initial elements of a permanent lunar outpost by 2030. It also directs the deployment of nuclear reactors on the Moon and in orbit, including a lunar surface reactor ready for launch by 2030.
行政令鼓勵私營部門積極投資太空領域,希望到2028年吸引至少500億美元的額外投資進入美國太空領域,并且在預計國際空間站2030年退役情況下,尋求通過商業途徑進行替代。
The order seeks to foster economic growth, attracting at least $50 billion of additional investment in American space markets by 2028. It directs efforts to spur private sector initiative and a commercial pathway to replace the International Space Station by 2030.
17日,美國參議院批準特朗普提名的美國企業家、私人宇航員賈里德·艾薩克曼出任美國航天局局長。艾薩克曼曾表示,他認為美國航天局應該嘗試同時瞄準月球和火星,同時優先考慮重返月球。
On Wednesday, the US Senate confirmed American billionaire entrepreneur and private astronaut Jared Isaacman, nominated by Trump, to be NASA's new administrator.
