Just days after the world celebrated the 50th anniversary of man landing on the moon, India’s space agency successfully launched its first lunar lander bound for the moon. 就在全世界庆祝人类登月50周年的几天后，印度航天局成功向月球发射了第一个月球着陆器。 The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) achieved a successful liftoff and injection into Earth’s orbit of its Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft early this morning. 印度空间研究组织（ISRO）的月船2号今天一大早成功发射并进入地球轨道。 The Chandrayaan-2 now begins its six-week journey to the moon. Once in the moon’s orbit, the Chandrayaan-2 will attempt to land on the moon’s surface in September. 现在月船2号开始了飞向月球的为期6周的行程。九月份一进入月球轨道就会尝试在月球表面着陆。 If that landing is successful, India will become only the fourth nation to ever land an intact vehicle on the moon. 如能成功着陆，印度将会成为史上第四个月球车完整着陆月球的国家。 Previous nations that have done so include the U.S., Russia, and China. 此前登月的国家有美国、俄罗斯和中国。 In 2008 India sent the Chandrayaan-1 to the moon, where it achieved successful orbit and then launched a probe into the moon’s surface. 2008年印度向月球发射了月船1号，成功绕轨道运行，之后向月球表面发射了一个探测器。 |
