美国国家航空航天局两年来首次扩大宇航员队伍。随着美国航天机构推进其阿尔忒弥斯计划，新一届太空探索者招募工作正在进行中，他们将接受训练以“在地球之外生活和工作”。
NASA is expanding its astronaut corps for the first time in two years. As the US space agency grows its Artemis programme, recruitment is in progress for a brand-new class of space explorers who will train to "live and work beyond Earth".
想要飞往月球并协助建设永久性月球基地吗？美国国家航空航天局正在接受新一届宇航员的申请，这将助力推进阿尔忒弥斯计划。
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 programme.
官员们周六在肯尼迪航天中心的一次航空展上宣布了这一消息，该航天展旨在推广月球探索以及航空和技术进展。
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。当时有超过8000人申请，最终只有10人在2025年9月入选。
NASA’s last call for new astronauts was two years ago. More than 8,000 applied, with just 10 making the final cut in September 2025.
目前仅有32名现役宇航员，随着该航天机构计划尽快将人类的存在扩展到近地轨道之外，它需要更多新成员。阿尔忒弥斯2号乘组今年4月进行的绕月飞行拉开了探月行动的序幕。
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. April's lunar flyby by the Artemis II crew kicked off the lunar campaign.
阿尔忒弥斯3号指令长兰迪·布雷斯尼克周六对美联社表示：“我们的工作远多于宇航员的人数。”
“We have far more work than we have astronauts,” Artemis III commander Randy Bresnik told The Associated Press on Saturday.
美国国家航空航天局在其网站发布的新闻稿中写道，新一代宇航员将“接受训练以在月球表面作业、在地球之外生活和工作，并承担将人类探索边界推得比以往更远的各项任务”。“不要迟疑”有志成为宇航员的人士从即日起至12月3日期间可以提交申请。美国国家航空航天局预计将在2027年底前做出最终选择，新候选人将在2028年初开始训练——正是在阔别半个多世纪之后，美国国家航空航天局计划将宇航员送回月球表面的同一年。
This new generation of astronauts will "train to operate on the lunar surface, live and work beyond Earth, and take on missions that will push the boundaries of human exploration farther than ever before", NASA wrote in press release published on its website. 'Don't delay' Aspiring astronauts have between now and December 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.
布雷斯尼克敦促潜在候选人：“到那时，我们将把人类送上月球——所以不要迟疑。”
By then “we're going to have people on the moon – so don't delay," Bresnik urged potential candidates.
布雷斯尼克和他的三名机组队友将于明年夏天飞入轨道，练习将他们的太空舱与一对月球着陆器进行对接，其中一个由埃隆·马斯克的太空探索技术公司建造，另一个由杰夫·贝索斯的蓝色起源公司建造。他们的任务将停留在近地轨道附近——不会飞越月球——并为次年的“阿尔忒弥斯4号”任务进行彩排，该任务将尝试把两名宇航员送上月球南极附近着陆。
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's 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.
随着更多月球车、机器人、建筑和电网的发射，月球基地将成为现实。
The moon base will materialise as more rovers, robots, structures and power grids are launched.
“阿尔忒弥斯3号”任务的弗兰克·鲁比奥指出，耐心对于成为一名宇航员至关重要，他在太空连续逗留了371天，创下了美国太空耐力纪录。候选人还必须是拥有大学学位和专业工作经验的美国公民。
Patience is essential for becoming an astronaut, noted Artemis III's Frank Rubio, whose 371 consecutive days in space is a US endurance record. Candidates must also be US citizens with college degrees and professional work experience.
为期两年的强制性训练可能会非常残酷，在此基础之上，可能还要再过几年才能最终乘火箭飞向太空。
The two years of mandatory training can be gruelling, and it could take another several years on top of that before finally rocketing into space.
鲁比奥对美联社表示：“让他们意识到大部分工作不是去月球，这很重要，对吧？那大约只占你经历的百分之一。你所做的是在为登月任务做贡献。”这将是美国宇航局自1959年最初的“水星七人”以来的第25批宇航员。
“It's important for them to realise most of that work is not going to the moon, right?" Rubio told the Associated Press. “That will be about 1 percent 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.
