新奇事件簿 在航天服里配备厕所(在线收听

Fashion designers and clothing experts are wandering how a new suit might change their industry. The suit is a little out of this world - literally. It is a spacesuit that has its own built-in toilet. The high-tech garb has been designed by NASA engineers to help astronauts deal with the call of nature in emergency situations in space. The new suits are called the Orion Crew Survival Systems Suits (OCSSS). They will be worn by astronauts on NASA's next-generation spacecraft, Orion, which will venture a lot farther away from Earth than previous space missions have gone. The spacecraft will not be advanced enough to reach Mars, but will be able to carry humans around the moon and back.

时装设计师和服装专家正在考虑一款新服装如何能够改变他们所在的行业。这款服装可能稍微有些不可思议。这是一款内设厕所的航空服。美国国家宇航局的工程师们已经设计出了一款高科技服装帮助宇航员们解决太空中紧急情况下的如厕问题。这款新服装被称为猎户座乘员生存保障系统套装(OCSSS)宇航员们将在NASA下一代航天器,猎户座的太空探险中穿上这款服装,与前几次太空任务相比,猎户座号飞船将去到距离地球更远的地方。飞船还不够去到火星,但它将搭载宇航员们环绕月球并返航。

The OCSSS spacesuits will allow astronauts to survive for six days in emergency situations. The suit is fitted with a revolutionary waste disposal system that will allow astronauts to do things like urinate and defecate without taking it off. Astronauts will also be able to eat in the suit. NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio explained how important and how much of a life-saver the OCSSS space suit will be. He said: "Spaceflight is not always glamorous. People need to go the bathroom, even in a spacecraft. How is this waste treated such that it does not harm the astronaut or even kill them?" The suit's technology could be used in hospitals and in the camping and trekking industries in the future.

OCSSS航天服能够在紧急情况下让宇航员们生存六天。该服装配备有一个改造的废物处置系统,能让宇航员们在不用脱掉衣服的情况下进行排泄。宇航员们也能够在这款服装中进食。NASA宇航员里克·马斯特拉吉奥解释了这款OCSSS航天服的重要性以及救生性。他说道:“宇宙飞行并不总是如此迷人。人类需要上厕所,哪怕是在航天器内。那么要如何在不伤害宇航员或者甚至不杀害他们的情况下处理这些废物呢?”未来,该款服装的技术可被用在医院、露营以及徒步行业中。
