本周发布：本周可能是 Starship 的一周吗？

This week is a rather slow one with two launches scheduled for SpaceX‘s Falcon 9, yes they’re for Starlink. However, pending regulatory approval, the week could finish with the second launch of the company’s Starship rocket.

本周是相当缓慢的一周，SpaceX 的猎鹰 9 号计划进行两次发射，是的，它们是为了星链。然而，在等待监管部门批准的情况下，本周可能会以该公司的 Starship 火箭的第二次发射结束。

Is this the week we see Starship fly?

SpaceX is gearing up for another flight of its Starship launch system. They just have to wait on the FAA to approve its launch license’s amendment.

这周我们会看到星舰飞行吗？SpaceX 正在准备其星舰发射系统的另一次飞行。他们只需等待美国联邦航空局批准其发射许可证的修正案即可。

Starship’s Integrated Flight Test-2, or Starship Flight 2, Flight 2, or just “the next one” is currently slated for no earlier than November 17. This mission will feature changes in staging and the launch pad, implement after April’s inaugural Starship launch.

Starship 的 Integrated Flight Test-2，或 Starship Flight 2，Flight 2，或只是“下一个”目前定于不早于 11 月 17 日进行。该任务将在阶段和发射台上进行更改，在 4 月 Starship 首次发射后实施。

The flight profile will be similar to what would have seen earlier this year if that rocket survived. It wouldn’t reach orbit, but it would reach space and make almost a complete orbit. The Super Heavy booster will make a controlled landing in the Gulf of Mexico while the Starship vehicle will reenter and plash off the coast of Hawaii.

如果火箭幸存下来，飞行剖面将与今年早些时候看到的类似。它不会到达轨道，但它会到达太空并几乎完成一个完整的轨道。超重型助推器将在墨西哥湾受控着陆，而星舰飞行器将重新进入并在夏威夷海岸外溅起。

Any second launch of a failed first launch has a much higher chance of success. However, there is still a lot of unknowns. First off, SpaceX completely redesigned the staged separation system of Starship, there could be new issues found there. This will also be Starship’s first reentry, testing the vehicle’s thermal protection system in the real world for the first time.

第一次发射失败后的任何第二次发射都有更高的成功机会。然而，仍有很多未知数。首先，SpaceX完全重新设计了Starship的分级分离系统，可能会发现新的问题。这也将是“星舰”首次重返大气层，首次在现实世界中测试飞行器的热保护系统。

Like with all SpaceX test flights, there is one thing that the company guarantees, and that’s excitement.

与 SpaceX 的所有试飞一样，该公司保证一件事，那就是兴奋。

All of this however, is reliant on the FAA approving SpaceX for another launch. Right now, the agency is just waiting on the Fish and Wildlife’s environmental review of SpaceX’s pad infrastructure changes.

然而，所有这一切都取决于 FAA 批准 SpaceX 再次发射。目前，该机构正在等待鱼类和野生动物部门对 SpaceX 的发射台基础设施变更进行环境审查。

If Starship doesn’t happen, it will be a slow week

Outside of Starship, not much is happening this week.

如果《星际飞船》没有发生，这将是缓慢的一周除了《星际飞船》之外，本周不会发生太多事情。

China will launch first with an unknown payload on a Long March 2C rocket out of Jiuquan. SpaceX will follow up with at least one Starlink mission from SLC-40 and a second possible one Friday from California.

中国将首先使用长征二号丙火箭从酒泉发射未知有效载荷。 SpaceX 将在 SLC-40 上执行至少一次星链任务，并可能在周五从加利福尼亚执行第二次任务。

SpaceX is still getting off a three launches in just a handful of days so the company could be letting its employees rest a few days before they return to launching ever three to four days. In total, SpaceX has launched 84 times this year, 83 times for Falcon rockets.

SpaceX 仍在短短几天内完成三次发射，因此该公司可能会让员工休息几天，然后再恢复每三到四天的发射一次。 SpaceX 今年总共发射了 84 次，其中猎鹰火箭发射了 83 次。
