The one-day delay gives SpaceX more time to ensure its vehicle is healthy.

一天的延迟让 SpaceX 有更多时间确保其车辆健康。

We'll have to wait one more day for SpaceX's launch of the next private astronaut mission.

我们还得再等一天，等待 SpaceX 发射下一次私人宇航员任务。

SpaceX announced on Wednesday (Jan. 17) that the launch of Axiom Space's Ax-3 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has been delayed by a day, to 4:49 p.m. EST (2149 GMT) on Thursday (Jan. 18). The mission will lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

SpaceX 于周三（1 月 17 日）宣布，Axiom Space 前往国际空间站 (ISS) 的 Ax-3 任务的发射已推迟一天，至下午 4:49。美国东部时间（格林威治标准时间 2149），周四（1 月 18 日）。该任务将从美国宇航局位于佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心起飞。

The company announced the delay in a post on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the delay "allows teams to complete pre-launch checkouts and data analysis on the vehicle," in this case a Falcon 9 rocket topped with a Crew Dragon spacecraft.

该公司在 X（以前称为 Twitter）上发布的帖子宣布了这一延迟，并指出延迟“允许团队完成发射前检查和对飞行器的数据分析”，在本例中是搭载载人龙飞船的猎鹰 9 号火箭。

When the time comes, you can watch the launch here at Space.com courtesy of livestreams from NASA, SpaceX and Axiom Space, a Houston-based company. Coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. EST (1845 GMT) on Jan. 18.

届时，您可以在 Space.com 上观看来自 NASA、SpaceX 和休斯顿公司 Axiom Space 的直播。报道将于下午 2:30 开始。美国东部时间 (1845 GMT) 1 月 18 日。

The Ax-3 mission will carry a four-person, all-European crew to the ISS. The crew will be led by Ax-3 mission commander and former NASA astronaut Michael "LA" López-Alegría, as NASA requirements state that private crewed missions to the ISS must be commanded by a former agency astronaut.

Ax-3 任务将搭载四名全欧洲宇航员前往国际空间站。机组人员将由 Ax-3 任务指挥官和前 NASA 宇航员 Michael“LA”López-Alegría 领导，因为 NASA 要求前往国际空间站的私人载人任务必须由前机构宇航员指挥。

The other three crew members are mission specialist Walter Villadei, who flew aboard Virgin Galactic's Galactic 01 suborbital spaceflight in June 2023, European Space Agency astronaut reserve member Marcus Wandt, and Turkey's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı. (López-Alegría is a citizen of both the U.S. and Spain, hence the "all-European" description.)

另外三名机组人员是任务专家沃尔特·维拉迪（Walter Villadei），他于 2023 年 6 月搭乘维珍银河的银河 01 号亚轨道太空飞行，欧洲航天局宇航员预备成员马库斯·万特（Marcus Wandt），以及土耳其第一位宇航员阿尔珀·格泽拉夫奇（Alper Gezeravcı）。 （洛佩斯-阿莱格里亚是美国和西班牙的公民，因此被称为“全欧洲人”。）

The crew will spend around two weeks aboard the ISS conducting more than 30 science experiments, Axiom Space says. 

Axiom Space 表示，宇航员将在国际空间站上度过大约两周的时间，进行 30 多项科学实验。

"Data collected on ground before and after the mission as well as in flight will impact understanding of human physiology on Earth and on orbit, as well as advance scientific understanding, harness opportunities for industrial advancements and develop technologies for humanity's progress," the company stated in a mission description.

该公司表示：“任务前后以​​及飞行中收集的数据将影响对地球和轨道上人类生理学的理解，并促进科学理解，利用工业进步的机会，并为人类进步开发技术。”在任务描述中。

The Crew Dragon spacecraft flying to the ISS for this mission, named Freedom, has carried astronauts to and from the orbital lab on two previous missions: NASA's Crew-4 in 2022 and Axiom Space's Ax-2 in May 2023.

飞往国际空间站执行此次任务的载人龙飞船名为“自由”，在之前的两次任务中曾载有宇航员往返于轨道实验室：NASA 的 Crew-4（2022 年）和 Axiom Space 的 Ax-2（2023 年 5 月）。

As its name suggests, this is the third private mission flown by Axiom Space. The company aims to help build a thriving economy in low Earth orbit, by both flying private astronaut missions to the ISS and eventually building its own private space station.

顾名思义，这是 Axiom Space 执行的第三次私人任务。该公司的目标是通过向国际空间站执行私人宇航员任务并最终建立自己的私人空间站，帮助在近地轨道建立繁荣的经济。
