天宫二号

天宫二号空间实验室的三部分模块化设计，就是基于俄罗斯早在2001年就退役的和平号空间站（Mirspacestation）。

The three-part modular design of the Tiangong II space lab is based on Russia 's Mir space station , which was in orbit until 2001 .

根据目前的进度，一个天宫二号轨道实验室模块将在九月份推出了搭载长征火箭5B测试，将需要对空间站的技术。

Under the current schedule , a TianGong-2 orbiting laboratory module would be launched in September aboard a Long March 5B rocket to test technologies that will be needed for the space station .

它将由日前发射的天宫二号（Tiangong-2）代替。

It will be replaced with the Tiangong-2 , which launched last week .

他还指出，天宫二号的通信系统使得航天员们也可以接收和回复邮件，并且和家人朋友通话。

He said its communications systems also allow astronauts to receive and reply to emails and make calls to family and friends .

另外，天宫二号上还安装了一个空气探测器，可以用来检测和处理超过20种有害气体和微生物。

In addition , Tiangong II has an air detector capable of checking for and dealing with more than 20 hazardous gases and microbes .

10月至11月间，中国两名航天员在天宫二号空间实验室过了一个月，创造了中国航天员太空驻留时间新纪录。

It also highlights the two Chinese astronauts who spent one month aboard the Tiangong II space laboratory , in China 's longest manned mission in October and November .

载人神舟11船舱将在十月发射，搭载两名宇航员，会合，并在地球低轨道的天宫二号空间站前体设施对接。

A manned ShenZhou-11 capsule is set to launch in October , carrying two astronauts , to rendezvous and dock with the TianGong-2 space station precursor facility in low Earth orbit .

景海鹏在前两次太空飞行对接任务中也担任了任务指令长，这能为他提供帮助“神舟十一号”与“天宫二号”对接所需的经验。

The mission 's commander was also part of docking missions on both his previous space flights , giving him the experience needed to help dock Shenzhou 11 with Tiangong 2 .

据飞船设计者们表示，中国最新发射的空间实验室天宫二号相比于第一代飞船天宫一号，将会给居住在太空的航天员们提供更为舒适的环境。

China 's newest space laboratory , Tiangong II , will provide more comfortable digs to astronauts living aboard than its predecessor , Tiangong I , the spacecraft 's designers said .

廖建林表示，工程师们还在天宫二号上安装了一些运动器材，例如跑步机、室内健身自行车以及穴位按摩器，从而帮助宇航员们保持健康。

Furthermore , designers placed exercise equipment in the space lab such as a treadmill , exercise bike and acupuncture point massager to help astronauts keep healthy , according to Liao .

她表示，筹备工作进展顺利。此外她还表示，神舟十一号与天宫二号任务的成功已经表明，中国现在完全能够支持航天员在太空中长时间停留。

The preparatory work is proceeding well , she said , adding that the success of the Shenzhou XI-Tiangong II mission has shown that China is now able to support astronauts ' long-term stay in space .

中国空间技术研究院天宫二号总设计师朱枞鹏表示，设计师们在天宫一号基础上改装建造天宫二号的时候，目标是要创造一个在每一方面都对航天员友好的环境。

Zhu Zongpeng , chief designer of Tiangong II at China Academy of Space Technology , said designers aimed to create an astronaut-friendly environment in every regard when they refitted the space lab that was developed based on Tiangong I.

同样是在该新闻发布会上，中国载人航天工程办公室主任王兆耀表示，我国将在明年上半年发射第一艘货运飞船天舟一号，与天宫二号完成对接。

Also at the news conference , Wang Zhaoyao , the agency 's director , said that the country will launch its first cargo spacecraft , Tianzhou 1 , in the first half of next year to dock with Tiangong II .

中国空间技术研究院高级工程师廖建林参加了天宫二号的研发工作，他表示，天宫二号内有大约15平米的面积可供宇航员居住和工作，其中包括一个独立的睡眠区和废物储存区。

Liao Jianlin , a senior engineer at the academy who took part in Tiangong II 's development , said the lab has about 15 square meters for astronauts to live and work , including a separate sleep section and waste storage area .

天宫二号由两个舱体组成，分别具有不同的功能--实验舱是密封的，将会作为宇航员们的生活区；而资源舱内有太阳能电池板、蓄电电池、推进剂和发动机。

The Tiangong II consists of two cabins with separate functions － the experiment cabin will be hermetically sealed and will act as the astronauts ' living quarters , while the resource cabin will contain solar panels , storage batteries , propellant and engines .

中国于1992年为载人航天计划提出了三步走战略，大型载人空间站是其中的最后一步。在今年10月中旬，神舟11号飞船将会把两位两位航天员运输到天宫二号，他们将在那里驻留30天。

China in 1992 made a three-step strategy for its manned space program , the large-scale manned space station being the last step . In the middle of October , the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft will transport two taikonauts to Tiangong-2 . They will stay there for 30 days .

而中国对其研究计划和能力则守口如瓶，所以很难估计这些计划到2030年实现的可能性有多大。（中国还没有发射原本计划于今年发射的天宫二号）

China has been more secretive with their research plans and capabilities , so it is hard to gauge the likelihood of all these plans coming together by 2030 or so ( China has yet to launch the Tiangong 2 , a space station planned for this year ) .
