日本初創(chuàng)企業(yè)未能將火箭發(fā)射到太空

Japan's commercial rocket company failed to send a rocket to outer space on Saturday due to engine failure, according to Japan Today.

據(jù)《今日日本》報(bào)道，由于發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)故障，日本商業(yè)火箭公司周六未能將火箭送入太空。

After lifting off and reaching an altitude of 13 kilometers, the rocket was reported to have found an abnormality with its onboard computer, which triggered the engine shutdown.

據(jù)報(bào)道，在升空并達(dá)到13公里高度后，火箭發(fā)現(xiàn)其機(jī)載計(jì)算機(jī)出現(xiàn)異常，導(dǎo)致發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)關(guān)閉。

The MOMO-4 rocket, developed by Intersatellite Technology, is a small experimental liquid rocket with a total length of 10 meters and a diameter of 50 centimeters. The takeoff weight is about 1.1 kilograms.

由衛(wèi)星間技術(shù)開發(fā)的MOMO-4火箭是一種小型實(shí)驗(yàn)液體火箭，總長(zhǎng)度10米，直徑50厘米。起飛重量約為1.1公斤。

According to the company, the rocket can reach a maximum height of 120 kilometers. It was loaded with a low-frequency sound sensor developed by Kochi University of Technology to monitor natural disasters.

據(jù)該公司稱，該火箭可以達(dá)到120公里的最高高度。它裝載了一個(gè)由高知理工大學(xué)開發(fā)的低頻聲波傳感器，用于監(jiān)測(cè)自然災(zāi)害。

Part of the payload carried by the rocket can be recycled via the parachute onboard. But the MOMO-4 type was not designed for launching satellites, the company said.

火箭攜帶的部分有效載荷可以通過機(jī)載降落傘回收。但該公司表示，MOMO-4型不是為發(fā)射衛(wèi)星而設(shè)計(jì)的。

Founded in 2013, the Hokkaido-based company is Japan's first private enterprise to attempt to launch a rocket independently. This is the fourth time that the company tried to send its rocket into space after failing twice.

這家位于北海道的公司成立于2013年，是日本第一家試圖獨(dú)立發(fā)射火箭的私營(yíng)企業(yè)。這是該公司在兩次失敗后第四次試圖將火箭送入太空。

The company's third launch in May was a success, which launched the vehicle to an altitude of over 100 kilometers – a distance beyond the boundary between the Earth’s atmosphere and space.

今年5月，該公司的第三次發(fā)射取得了成功，將火箭發(fā)射到100多公里的高度，這一高度超出了地球大氣層和太空之間的邊界。
