摘要

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Or-biter (LRO) will not launch before April 24 "due to circumstances beyond NASA's control," according to a spokeswoman for the NASA field center building the spacecraft. NASA officials say the $600 million spacecraft could be ready to launch before the end of 2008 - the goal U.S. President George W. Bush set for the mission more than four-and-a-half years ago when he announced the Vision for Space Exploration - but competing demand for launch services from Cape Canaveral, Fla., in the months ahead initially prompted LRO to shift to a February launch opportunity. Launch manifests at the Cape and Vandenberg Air Force Base in Calif., have been further scrambled by an industry-wide components-alert that is slowing the launch rate of Atlas and Delta rockets. Craig Tooley, the LRO program manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said in an Oct. 21 e-mail that LRO officially has been remanifested for a launch window that opens April 24. Tooley said the delay was "based on launch vehicle manifest considerations and not LRO readiness."

Bush)于四年半前宣布太空探索愿景时就设定了飞行目标-但佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角对发射服务的需求竞争激烈,最初几个月促使LRO转向了2月的发射机会。加利福尼亚州海角和范登堡空军基地的发射清单进一步受到行业范围内的组件警报的干扰,该警报正在减慢阿特拉斯和达美火箭的发射速度。美国宇航局戈达德太空飞行中心的LRO计划经理Craig Tooley在10月21日的电子邮件中说,LRO的正式名称已被改名为4月24日开放的发射窗口。Tooley表示,这一延迟是“基于运载火箭清单的考虑而不是LRO准备就绪。”
