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：当晚第一架猎鹰 9 号于晚上 8:10 升空。美国东部时间肯尼迪航天中心。

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 正在为一月份结束忙碌的一周做准备。随着该公司准备首次向国际空间站发射诺斯罗普·格鲁曼天鹅座飞船，两次星链飞行将拉开序幕。

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).

首先进行的是星链 6-38 任务，该任务将另外 23 颗卫星送入近地轨道。支持此次任务的猎鹰 9 号火箭定于 1 月 28 日星期日晚上 8:10 升空。美国东部时间（0110 世界标准时间）。

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

Spaceflight Now 将在发射前大约一小时开始进行现场报道。

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 正在调用 NASA 肯尼迪航天中心的 39A 发射中心来发射这项任务。这将是猎鹰火箭从该发射台进行的第 74 次发射（包括 9 枚猎鹰重型火箭），也是整个发射场的第 167 次发射。

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.

支持此次任务的第一级助推器尾号为 B1062，将进行第 18 次飞行，上次飞行是在 11 月底。迄今为止，它支持了两次载人发射、两颗 GPS 卫星和 10 次星链发射。

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.

升空后约 8.5 分钟，B1062 将降落在无人机“A Shortfall of Gravitas”上。这将是该无人机上的第 58 次助推器着陆，也是猎鹰 9 号第一级助推器的第 267 次整体着陆。

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

假设周日成功启动，这些将是最新的统计数据：

• 18th launch & landing of B1062

  B1062第18次发射着陆

• 74th SpaceX launch from LC-39A

  SpaceX 第 74 次发射 LC-39A

• 167th orbital launch from LC-39A

  LC-39A 进行第 167 次轨道发射

• 293rd Falcon 9 launch

  第 293 次猎鹰 9 号发射

• 58th landing on ASOG

  第 58 次登陆 ASOG

• 267th Falcon 9 booster landing

  第 267 次猎鹰 9 号助推器着陆

• 6th orbital launch from Florida in 2024

  2024 年从佛罗里达州进行第六次轨道发射

• 8th SpaceX launch in 2024

  SpaceX 将于 2024 年进行第八次发射

• 19th orbital launch in 2024

  2024年第19次轨道发射

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.

杂耍表演假设周日晚上星链 6-38 任务成功发射，不到四小时后，猎鹰 9 号将进行另一次飞行：从范登堡太空部队基地起飞的星链 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.

该任务的目标是下午 6 点 16 分升空。太平洋标准时间（美国东部时间晚上 9:16，世界标准时间 0216）从东 4 号航天发射场 (SLC-4E) 发射。它将在近地轨道星座中再增加 22 个星链。

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.

虽然这两项任务正在进行中，但 SpaceX、NASA 和诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司正在为 NG-20 发射做最后的准备工作，这是对国际空间站的最新货运补给任务。

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.

这将是 SpaceX 首次发射天鹅座飞船。这是三项此类计划任务中的第一项，同时诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司和萤火虫航空航天公司仍在继续开发名为 Antares 330 的联合火箭。

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

该货运航班将从佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角太空部队站的 SLC-40 发射。

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 还继续支持私人宇航员任务 Ax-3，该任务在国际空间站为期两周的停留大约已过半。如果天气允许，由迈克尔·洛佩斯-阿莱格里亚率领的四名宇航员将于下周末登上龙飞船返回地球。
