外媒如何看待神州十一号发射成功

 　　China successfully launched its first human spaceflight mission in more than three years Oct. 16, placing into orbit a spacecraft carrying two astronauts that will dock with a new space laboratory module¹.

　　10月16日（当地时间10月17日），时隔三年，中国再次进行载人航天发射，搭载两名航天员的载人飞船进入轨道，与其他空间实验室对接。

　　A Long March 2F spacecraft lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Oct. 16 (7:30 a.m. Beijing time Oct. 17) and placed the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft into orbit. The spacecraft separated from the rocket’s upper stage and deployed² its solar panels a little more than 10 minutes after liftoff.

　　On board Shenzhou-11 are astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, publicly announced as the crew less than 24 hours before the launch. Jing is a veteran astronaut, having flown on Shenzhou-7 in 2008 and Shenzhou-9 in 2012. Chen is making his first spaceflight.

　　神舟十一号载人飞船的两名航天员于发射前一天公布，他们是景海鹏和陈冬。景海鹏有着丰富的航天经验，于2008年和2012年分别参加过神舟七号、神舟九号载人飞行任务。而陈冬则是首次参加载人飞行任务。

　　Shenzhou-11 is scheduled to dock with the Tiangong-2 module Oct. 18. That module, launched Sept. 15, will host the crew for 30 days, twice as long as the existing Chinese human spaceflight endurance record, set by the Shenzhou-10 mission in June 2013. That mission was also the last Chinese human spaceflight prior to the Shenzhou-11 mission.

　　神舟十一号计划将于10月18日（北京时间10月19日）与天宫二号对接。天宫二号发射于9月15日，机组人员将在其中驻留30天，是目前中国最长载人飞行时间的两倍，这个记录的保持者是2013年6月的神舟十号飞行任务。神舟十号也是中国神舟十一号之前的一次载人航天任务。

　　During the 30-day mission, Jing and Chen will carry out a number of medical and space science experiments, as well as test various systems on the Tiangong-2 module. They will also engage in public outreach activities, including serving as “special correspondents” for the state-run Xinhua news service.

　　在为期30天的载人飞行任务中，景海鹏、陈冬将开展一系列医学和空间科学实验，并对天宫2号的各种系统进行检测。他们还将参与公共宣传活动，承担新华社特派记者的角色。

　　The mission is part of Chinese efforts to develop a permanent space station. Chinese officials have indicated that they expect this station, consisting of several modules³ but smaller than the International Space Station, to be completed by the early 2020s.

　　此次载人飞行任务是中国建设永久空间站计划的一部分。官方表示，希望在2020年代初期建成自己的空间站，由众多模块构成，体量小于国际空间站。
