target spacecraft 目的飛行器
The program spokesman said that Tiangong-1 will serve as a target spacecraft for rendezvous1 and docking experiments.
項目發言人稱,天宮一號將作為空間交會對接的目的飛行器,完成交會對接試驗。
文中的target spacecraft就是指目的飛行器,此次發射的天宮一號是一個unmanned module2(無人駕駛艙)。天宮一號升空后,將進行docking experiments(對接實驗)。
天宮一號可以用Tiangong-1或者Heavenly Palace 1來表示。天宮一號既是一個空間交會對接的目的飛行器,又是一個淺易的spacelab(空間實驗室),中國籌備借助這個平臺,要進行空間實驗室的有關技術試驗,并為打造space station(空間站)做籌備。
國內計劃在2012年前后發射的月球車就是lunar/moon rover。Rover一般用來指流浪者,漫游者,譬如:The Indian of the West is a rover of the plain.(西部的印第安人在大平原上過著游牧生活。)
