These Two Women Astronauts Are Making History By Doing The First-Ever All-Female Space Walk Today

今天,这两名女宇航员进行了首次全女性太空行走,创造了历史

While the history of space exploration can be traced back to people observing objects in space before the reliable recorded history, the history of humans in space is significantly shorter. The first successful human spaceflight happened only 58 years ago when Yuri Gagarin orbited around the globe in 1961. Humanity came miles since then in space exploration, having approximately 500 people who have visited space by now. But there’s a new historical event on the verge of happening as the first-ever all-female spacewalk is bound to happen today!

虽然太空探索的历史可以追溯到人们在太空观察物体有可靠记录的历史之前,但人类在太空的历史要短得多。第一次成功的载人航天飞行发生在58年前,1961年尤里·加加林绕地球飞行。从那以后,人类在太空探索方面取得了长足的进步,到现在已经有大约500人访问过太空。但有一个新的历史事件即将发生,因为有史以来第一次全女性太空行走将在今天发生!

These two women are ready to make history by completing the first ever all-female spacewalk

这两位女性准备完成首次全女性太空行走,创造历史

The two ladies are scheduled to do the spacewalk at 7:50 a.m. E.T. on October 18th, 2019. They will be replacing a faulty battery charge/discharge unit that failed to activate after a spacewalk on October 11. The faulty unit is preventing a set of recently installed batteries from providing increased power, so it must be replaced before continuing a series of spacewalks to install new batteries.

两位女士计划于2019年10月18日美国东部时间上午7:50进行太空行走。他们将更换一个有故障的电池充放电装置,该装置在10月11日的太空行走后未能激活。这个有缺陷的装置妨碍了最近安装的一组电池提供更多的能量,所以在继续一系列的太空行走安装新电池之前必须更换它。

It will be the fourth spacewalk for US astronaut, Christina Koch

这将是美国宇航员克里斯蒂娜·科赫第四次太空行走

And the first spacewalk for Swedish-American-Israeli NASA astronaut, Jessica Meir

When asked what inspired her to become an astronaut, Jessica Meir recalls it could have been the Space Shuttle missions on television she watched as a child. She also adds that, “It might have had something to do with the fact that the stars shone so brightly in rural Maine”. She holds a Master of Space Studies degree and a Ph.D. in marine biology. She’s a Brown University alum and has done some work at the Harvard Medical School as well. Meir has been on board the ISS since September 25, 2019, and due to holding a double American and Swedish citizenship, she is also the first Swedish woman in space.

当被问及是什么激励她成为一名宇航员时,杰西卡·梅尔回忆说,那可能是她小时候在电视上看到的航天飞机任务。她还补充说,“这可能与缅因州乡村地区的星星如此明亮有关”。她拥有太空研究硕士学位和海洋生物学博士学位。她是布朗大学的校友,也在哈佛医学院做过一些工作。梅厄自2019年9月25日起登上国际空间站,由于拥有美国和瑞典双重国籍,她也是第一位进入太空的瑞典女性。

This event will enter history after the previous failed attempt to have an all-female spacewalk in the spring of 2019

这一事件将在2019年春天的女性太空行走失败后载入史册
