Update 8:40 p.m.: The first Falcon 9 of the night lifted off at 8:10 p.m. EST from Kennedy Space Center.

晚上 8:40 更新：當晚第一架獵鷹 9 號於晚上 8:10 升空。美國東部時間甘迺迪太空中心。

SpaceX is preparing for a busy week to close out the month of January. Two Starlink flights are set to kick things off as the company prepares to launch a Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft to the International Space Station for the first time.

SpaceX 正在為一月份結束忙碌的一周做準備。隨著該公司準備首次向國際太空站發射諾斯羅普·格魯曼天鵝座飛船，兩次星鏈飛行將拉開序幕。

First up to bat is the Starlink 6-38 mission, which will send 23 more satellites to low Earth orbit. Liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket supporting this mission is set for Sunday, Jan. 28, at 8:10 p.m. EST (0110 UTC).

首先進行的是星鏈 6-38 任務，任務將另外 23 顆衛星送入近地軌道。支援此任務的獵鷹 9 號火箭定於 1 月 28 日星期日晚上 8:10 升空。美國東部時間（0110 世界標準時間）。

Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning approximately one hour before liftoff.

Spaceflight Now 將在發射前約一小時開始進行現場報道。

SpaceX is calling upon Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to launch this mission. It will be the 74th launch of a Falcon rocket from this pad (including nine Falcon Heavy rockets) and the 167th launch overall.

SpaceX 正在調用 NASA 甘迺迪太空中心的 39A 發射中心來發射這項任務。這將是獵鷹火箭從該發射台進行的第 74 次發射（包括 9 枚獵鷹重型火箭），也是整個發射場的第 167 次發射。

The first stage booster supporting this mission, tail number B1062, will be making its 18th flight, having last flown in late November. It previously supported two crewed launches, a pair of GPS satellites and 10 Starlink launches to date.

支援此任務的第一級助推器尾號為 B1062，將進行第 18 次飛行，上次飛行是在 11 月底。迄今為止，它支援了兩次載人發射、兩顆 GPS 衛星和 10 次星鏈發射。

About 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1062 will land on the droneship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas.’ This will be the 58th booster landing on this vessel and the 267th overall landing of a Falcon 9 first stage booster.

升空後約8.5 分鐘，B1062 將降落在無人機「A Shortfall of Gravitas」上。這將是該無人機上的第58 次助推器著陸，也是獵鷹9 號第一級助推器的第267 次整體著陸。

Assuming an successful launch on Sunday, these will be the most current stats:

假設週日成功啟動，這些將是最新的統計數據：

• 18th launch & landing of B1062

  B1062第18次發射著陸

• 74th SpaceX launch from LC-39A

  SpaceX 第 74 次發射 LC-39A

• 167th orbital launch from LC-39A

  LC-39A 進行第 167 次軌道發射

• 293rd Falcon 9 launch

  第 293 次獵鷹 9 號發射

• 58th landing on ASOG

  第 58 次登陸 ASOG

• 267th Falcon 9 booster landing

  第 267 次獵鷹 9 號助推器著陸

• 6th orbital launch from Florida in 2024

  2024 年從佛羅裡達州進行第六次軌道發射

• 8th SpaceX launch in 2024

  SpaceX 將於 2024 年進行第八次發射

• 19th orbital launch in 2024

  2024年第19次軌道發射

Assuming a successful launch of the Starlink 6-38 mission Sunday evening, it will be followed less than four hours later by another Falcon 9 flight: Starlink 7-12 from Vandenberg Space Force Base.

雜耍表演假設週日晚上星鏈 6-38 任務成功發射，不到四小時後，獵鷹 9 號將進行另一次飛行：從范登堡太空部隊基地起飛的星鏈 7-12。

That mission is targeting liftoff at 6:16 p.m. PST (9:16 p.m. EST, 0216 UTC) from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E). It will add 22 more Starlinks to the constellation in LEO.

任務的目標是下午 6 點 16 分升空。太平洋標準時間（美國東部時間晚上 9:16，世界標準時間 0216）從東 4 號航天發射場 (SLC-4E) 發射。它將在近地軌道星座再增加 22 個星鏈。

While both missions are in flow, SpaceX, NASA and Northrop Grumman are working through final preparations for the NG-20 launch, the latest cargo resupply mission to the ISS.

雖然這兩項任務正在進行中，但 SpaceX、NASA 和諾斯羅普·格魯曼公司正在為 NG-20 發射做最後的準備工作，這是對國際太空站的最新貨運補給任務。

This will be the first time SpaceX is launching a Cygnus spacecraft. It’s the first of three such planned missions while Northrop Grumman and Firefly Aerospace continue working on a joint rocket, dubbed Antares 330.

這將是 SpaceX 首次發射天鵝座太空船。這是三項此類計畫任務中的第一項，同時諾斯羅普·格魯曼公司和螢火蟲航空航天公司仍在繼續開發名為 Antares 330 的聯合火箭。

That cargo flight is set to launch from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

該貨運航班將從佛羅裡達州卡納維爾角太空部隊站的 SLC-40 發射。

Amid all of this, SpaceX is also continuing to support the private astronaut mission, Ax-3, which is roughly halfway through its two-week stint onboard the ISS. The four astronauts, led by Michael López-Alegría, are set to board their Dragon spacecraft and return to Earth next weekend, weather permitting.

除此之外，SpaceX 也持續支援私人太空人任務 Ax-3，在國際太空站為期兩週的停留約已過半。如果天氣允許，由邁克爾·洛佩斯-阿萊格里亞率領的四名太空人將於下週末登上龍飛船返回地球。
