For $150 billion,the National Aeronautics and Space Administration could have sent astronauts back to the Moon.But for a small part of that—less than $200 million,along with about $250million for a rocket—NASA engineers say they can safely send a humanoid robot to the Moon.
The idea,known as Project M,was brought out a year ago by Stephen J.Altemus,the chief engineer.He used all the money that he could get,pulled in engineers to work on it part time,and horse-traded with companies and the other NASA units to do the planning and tests.A humanoid robot—at least the top half—already exists.It was named Robonaut 2,developed by NASA and General Motors.It is put on the shuttle Discovery and will take off on Wednesday.It is going to the International Space Station.And it will be the first humanoid robot in space.It is to help with housekeeping chores at the space station as NASA learns how astronauts and robots can work together.Eventually,an upgraded Robonaut is to take part in spacewalks.One of the main tasks for the robot would be to simply pick up a rock and drop it.(Students could do the sanme and compare the relative gravity of Earth.)
有1500亿美元,美国宇航局就可以让宇航员重返月球.但如果只有其中很少一部分——少于2亿美元,在加上2.5亿美元的火箭发射费用——美国宇航局的工程师说他们可以送一个人形机器人安全地到达月球.
这个计划被称为M项目,是由总工程师斯蒂芬.J.埃尔特穆斯于一年前提出的.他动用了所有可以使用的资金,利用工程师们业余时间进行工作,并且与公司以及美国宇航局其他部门协商进行相关的实验计划.一个人形的机器人——至少它的核心部分已经完成,这个被称为机器人宇航员2号由美国宇航局和通用汽车公司研发.将在周三由发现号航天飞机发射上天.它将去往国际空间站,这将是首次人形机器人的太空之旅.它将参与空间站的日常维护管理,美国宇航局将会研究宇航员与机器人是如何一起工作的.最终,一个改进后的机器人将宇航员进行太空行走.测试机器人的一项主要任务就是简单地捡起一块石头并扔出去.(它们可以在不同于地球的重力场下做的一样好)
