想飞向月球并帮助建设永久月球基地吗？美国国家航空航天局（NASA）正在接受新一期宇航员的申请，他们将助力“阿耳忒弥斯”计划的发展。
Want to fly to the moon and help build a permanent lunar base? NASA is accepting applications for a new astronaut class that will help grow the Artemis program.
美联社记者 玛西亚·邓恩 佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角报道 —— 想飞向月球并帮助建设永久月球基地吗？美国国家航空航天局正在接受新一期宇航员的申请，他们将助力“阿耳忒弥斯”计划的发展。
MARCIA DUNN CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Want to fly to the moon and help build a permanent lunar base NASA is accepting applications for a new astronaut class that will help grow the Artemis program.
官员们周六在肯尼迪航天中心的一场航空表演上宣布了这一消息，该活动旨在推广月球探索以及航空和技术领域的进步。
Officials announced the news Saturday during a Kennedy Space Center air show promoting lunar exploration as well as advances in aviation and technology.
美国国家航空航天局上一次招募新宇航员是在两年前。当时有8000多人申请，最终于2025年9月有10人入选。
NASA’s last call for new astronauts was two years ago. More than 8,000 applied, with 10 making the final cut in September 2025.
目前该航天机构仅有32名在役宇航员，随着它致力于尽快将人类的足迹拓展至近地轨道之外，急需更多新兵补充力量。
With only 32 active astronauts, the space agency needs more recruits as it looks to expand humanity’s presence beyond low-Earth orbit as quickly as possible.
今年4月，“阿耳忒弥斯2号”机组成员完成绕月飞行，拉开了月球探索序幕的大幕。
April’s lunar flyaround by the Artemis II crew kicked off the lunar campaign.
“阿耳忒弥斯3号”指令长兰迪·布雷兹尼克周六对美联社表示：“我们的工作远比宇航员多。”
“We have far more work than we have astronauts,” Artemis III commander Randy Bresnik told The Associated Press on Saturday.
有志成为宇航者的人士可从现在起至12月3日提交申请。美国国家航空航天局预计将于2027年底完成最终遴选，新入选者将于2028年初开始训练——那一年正是美国国家航空航天局计划在间隔半个多世纪后重返月球表面的时间。
Aspiring astronauts have between now and Dec. 3 to submit their applications. NASA expects to make its final selection by late 2027, with the new candidates beginning their training by early 2028 — the same year that NASA intends to return astronauts to the lunar surface after an absence of more than half a century.
布雷兹尼克敦促潜在候选人：“到时候‘我们将有人在月球上——所以别拖延’。”
By then “we’re going to have people on the moon — so don’t delay,” Bresnik urged potential candidates.
布雷兹尼克和他的三名队友将于明年夏天发射入轨，练习将他们的飞船与两艘月球着陆器对接，其中一艘由埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX公司建造，另一艘由杰夫·贝佐斯的蓝色起源公司建造。他们的任务将停留在近地空间——不进行绕月飞行——并作为次年“阿耳忒弥斯4号”任务的彩排，后者将尝试让两名宇航员在月球南极附近着陆。
Bresnik and his three crewmates will blast into orbit next summer to practice docking their capsule with a pair of lunar landers, one built by Elon Musk’s SpaceX and the other by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. Their mission will stick close to Earth — no lunar flyby — and serve as a dress rehearsal for the following year’s Artemis IV mission that will attempt to land two astronauts near the lunar south pole.
随着更多探测车、机器人、建筑设施和电网被发射升空，月球基地将逐步成型。
The moon base will materialize as more rovers, robots, structures and power grids are launched.
耐心是成为宇航员的关键，阿尔忒弥斯三号任务成员弗兰克·鲁比奥指出，他连续在太空停留371天，创下美国耐力纪录。候选人还必须是美国公民，拥有大学学位和专业工作经验。
Patience is essential for becoming an astronaut, noted Artemis III’s Frank Rubio, whose 371 consecutive days in space is a U.S. endurance record. Candidates must also be U.S. citizens with college degrees and professional work experience.
为期两年的强制性训练可能极其艰苦，在此基础上可能还需要再过几年，才能最终乘火箭飞入太空。
The two years of mandatory training can be grueling, and it could take another several years on top of that before finally rocketing into space.
鲁比奥对美联社记者说：“重要的是让他们意识到，大部分工作并非为了登月，对吧？那将只占你经历的约1%。你所做的是为登月任务做贡献。”这将是自1959年最初的“水星七人”以来，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）选拔的第25批宇航员。
“It’s important for them to realize most of that work is not going to the moon, right?”Rubio told the AP. “That will be about 1% of your experience. What you’re doing is contributing to the mission of going to the moon.”This will be NASA’s 25th astronaut class since the original Mercury Seven in 1959.
