中國火星探測項目研製進行順利

Chinese researchers have completed the aerodynamic design for the country's Mars probe and are now conducting testing and experiments.

我國研究人員已完成我國火星探測器氣動設計，目前正在進行試驗驗證。

With the probe set to launch in 2020, Chinese space authorities are working on technology to help complete orbiting, landing and surveying.

我國計劃於2020年發射火星探測器，目前我國航天部門正就有助於完成軌道運行、着陸和測量的技術進行研究。

"The aerodynamic design is very important, as it will protect the probe in its landing and prevent it from leaving the orbiting track," said Zhou Weijiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and researcher with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

全國政協委員、中國航天科技集團研究員周偉江表示：“氣動設計非常重要，因爲它將在火星探測器着陸時對其進行保護，防止其偏離軌道。”

"Weight is another key problem in the aerodynamic design of the probe, as the total weight of China's Mars probe is comparatively small in its kind around the world," Zhou said.

周偉江說：“由於我國火星探測器在世界同類探測器中總重相對較小，因此重量是該探測器氣動設計中的另一個重要問題。”

"Heatproof materials, for example, if added too little the probe will be burnt while landing and too much will surpass the total weight standard," he added.

他補充說道：“例如，防熱材料如果加的太少，探測器在着陸時就會被燒燬，而過多的話就會超過總重量標準。”
