点一下不认识的单词。

NASA chose three companies on Wednesday. These companies will work on a new system called Ka-band space relay. This system will help current spacecraft send and receive information without changing their parts.

The new system will include many parts. It will have space parts, ground parts, launch parts, and operation parts. NASA will buy these parts from companies in the market.

The work will start on November 4 and go until May 3, 2027. NASA can pay more money to keep working on the system until 2029. The goal is to test the system in space later.

This project helps NASA stop using old satellites called Tracking and Data Relay Satellites. NASA will use commercial services like this new Ka-band system for future space missions.

难句解析

  1. 1

    These companies will work on a new system called Ka-band space relay.

    called Ka-band space relay 是过去分词短语作定语，修饰前面的 system，意思是“被称为 Ka 波段空间中继的新系统”。整句：这些公司将研发一个叫 Ka 波段空间中继的新系统。

  2. 2

    NASA can pay more money to keep working on the system until 2029.

    to keep working on the system 是目的状语，表示“为了继续研发这个系统”。整句：NASA 可以多付钱，以便把这个系统的研发工作延长到 2029 年。

  3. 3

    NASA will use commercial services like this new Ka-band system for future space missions.

    like this new Ka-band system 这里 like 表示“比如、像……一样”，不是“喜欢”。整句：NASA 未来的太空任务将会用到像这个新 Ka 波段系统这样的商业服务。
