在家隔離的時候，NASA提供在線宇航員訓練

Who hasn't dreamt of escaping to the stars? Especially now, with most of us confined to limited spaces and steeped in tragic news.

誰不曾夢想過逃向星空?特別是現(xiàn)在，大多數(shù)人被限制在有限的空間里，沉浸在悲慘的消息中。

NASA and the ISS National Lab are ready to help. They've developed a range of adventurous programs and activities for all the children stuck in home lockdown, including a training program to become a home astronaut, build a hovercraft, launch rockets, and many more.

美國宇航局和國際空間站國家實驗室準備提供幫助。他們?yōu)樗斜焕г诩依锏暮⒆觽冮_發(fā)了一系列冒險項目和活動，包括成為一名家庭宇航員的訓練項目、建造氣墊船、發(fā)射火箭等等。

Astronauts see the world from space and want to share its beauty and its wholeness, explained ISS National Lab education manager Dan Barstow.

國際空間站國家實驗室教育經(jīng)理丹·巴斯托解釋說:“宇航員從太空中看世界，他們想分享世界的美麗和完整。”

They do medical experiments to search for cures, and they help young people see the power of the mysterious Universe to pull us to explore.

“他們做醫(yī)學實驗來尋找治療方法，他們幫助年輕人看到神秘宇宙的力量，吸引我們去探索。”

Now children can follow their lead, with free educational activities that equip parents to help students explore science subjects, from life sciences and human health to robotics, maths and physics - complete with specific guides for kindergarten through to year 12.

現(xiàn)在，孩子們可以跟隨他們的領導，通過免費的教育活動，主題項目從生命科學和人類健康到機器人、數(shù)學和物理，并包括從幼兒園到12年級的具體指導，讓家長們有條件幫助學生探索科學。

Students can take part in experiments like astronauts do on the International Space Station, and compare the results to those from space.

學生們可以像宇航員在國際空間站那樣參加實驗，并將實驗結果與來自太空的結果進行比較。

For example, observing microgravity using simple materials to demonstrate how astronauts float in space - not due to lack of gravity, but because they are constantly falling towards Earth.

例如，用簡單的材料觀察微重力來演示宇航員如何在太空中漂浮——當然不是由于失重，而是因為地心引力。

Kids can also contribute to science in progress by joining citizen science projects, like combing through images to search for new brown dwarfs and planets, using satellite data to help biologists track penguin populations, and training a computer to think like a scientist for future Mars missions.

孩子們也可以通過參與公民科學項目來為進步中的科學做出貢獻，比如通過梳理圖像來尋找新的褐矮星和行星，利用衛(wèi)星數(shù)據(jù)來幫助生物學家跟蹤企鵝數(shù)量，訓練計算機像科學家一樣思考未來的火星任務。

Until April 22, students can even help choose which plant astronauts will next grow in space. The plan is for SpaceX's October cargo resupply mission to provide astronauts with a spacefaring legume - but which legume has yet to be decided. You can join team Alfalfa, Mungbean, or Lentil, and help scientists work out which plant is the best suited for living on the ISS.

在4月22日之前，學生們甚至可以幫助選擇宇航員將在太空中種植的植物。SpaceX公司的計劃是在10月份進行貨物補給任務，為宇航員提供一種太空豆類食品，但具體哪種豆類食品尚未確定。你可以加入苜蓿、綠豆或扁豆的隊伍，幫助科學家們找出最適合在國際空間站上生活的植物。

In creating these activities the ISS National Lab and partners aim to inspire hope in young people during these challenging times, saying:

國際空間站國家實驗室和合作伙伴們在開展這些活動的同時，希望能在這個充滿挑戰(zhàn)的時代激發(fā)年輕人的希望，他們說:

We know many students are learning at home right now, and hands-on activities are especially important to keep students engaged and learning. We are all in this together.

“我們知道現(xiàn)在很多學生都在家里學習，動手實踐活動對保持學生的參與感和學習效果尤為重要。我們一起努力。”
