佛罗里达州布朗斯维尔11月15日电：波音和洛克希德·马丁的合资企业联合发射联盟（ULA）拥有的“火神”运载火箭周日从佛罗里达州发射后不久失事，摧毁了其搭载的40颗用于亚马逊“利奥”互联网网络的卫星，这是该公司成立二十年来的首次任务失败。
BROWNSVILLE, Nov 15 : A Vulcan rocket owned by United Launch Alliance, the joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, failed on Sunday shortly after launch from Florida, destroying its payload of 40 satellites for Amazon's Leo internet network in the company's first mission failure.
火箭发射约10分钟后失事，原因暂不明确。对于这家成立二十年的公司而言，其新旗舰火箭在寻求开始为亚马逊蓬勃发展的卫星互联网星座执行常规发射任务之际，遭遇重大挫折。
The rocket failed roughly 10 minutes after liftoff, and the cause was not immediately clear. It represented a major setback for the two decade-old company's new flagship rocket as it sought to begin a regular cadence of launches for Amazon's burgeoning satellite internet constellation.
联合发射联盟在一份声明中说：“根据我们的发射主管收到的数据，我们确认从41号航天发射复合体发射的‘火神’运载火箭在飞行10分钟时发生异常，未能将亚马逊任务送入轨道。”
"Based on data received by our Launch Director, we confirm that the Vulcan vehicle launched from Space Launch Complex 41 suffered an anomaly 10 minutes into the flight and failed to deliver the Amazon mission to orbit," ULA said in a statement.
“每一次飞行都会产生数据，每一次飞行都能教会我们一些东西。由于异常刚刚发生，我们目前还没有任何具体数据来了解今天发生了什么。”
"Every flight generates data, and every flight teaches us something. Since the anomaly just occurred, we don’t have any specific data yet to understand what occurred today."
