> ESA wants to give the moon its own time zone
欧洲航天局拟推动创建“月球时区”
With more lunar missions than ever on the horizon, the European Space Agency wants to give the moon its own time zone.
随着人类探索月球的活动逐渐增多,欧洲航天局想要创建一个月球时区。
The agency said space organizations around the world are considering how best to keep time on the moon.
近日,欧洲航天局发表声明说,世界各地的太空组织都在考虑,如何在月球上拥有一个确切的时间标准。
European space officials said an internationally accepted lunar time zone would make it easier for everyone, especially as more countries and even private companies aim for the moon and NASA is preparing to send astronauts there.
欧洲航天局表示,一个国际公认的月球时区将为人类的探月计划提供很多便利。尤其在现在的“探月”狂潮下,越来越多的国家甚至私人公司瞄准月球,美国航空航天局(NASA)也将派遣宇航员前往月球。
Right now, without a standard lunar time, each moon mission runs on the time of the country that is operating the spacecraft.
目前,由于没有统一的标准,月球任务都是按照航天器所属国家的时间进行的。
Giving the moon its own time zone sounds cool, but it's definitely not easy to implement.
给月球确立自己的时区,听起来很酷,但实施起来可绝对不简单。
“Having established a working time system for the moon, we can go on to do the same for other planetary destinations”, said Bernhard Hufenbach, a member of the Moonlight Management Team from ESA's Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration.
欧航局人类和机器人探索理事会的伯恩哈德•奥芬巴赫表示,为月球建立时间系统后,未来或许也可以应用于其他行星。
