allowed astronauts to walk on the moon.

得以登上月球的神奇載具

It was split up into 3 parts

它總共分成三個部分

the Command Module, the Service Module

包括指揮艙、服務艙

and the Lunar Module.

以及登月艙

Later on, we'll talk about what each module does,

我們稍後將介紹每個艙別的功用

but first, let's talk about the launch vehicle that gets us into orbit.

但首先，要來談談將太空船送上軌道的發射載具

The Saturn Five rocket.

也就是農神五號火箭

Each mission was launched from

每次的阿波羅任務都是從位於佛州的

Cape Canaveral in Florida.

卡拉維爾角發射

Mission Control was all the way in Houston, Texas.

任務控制中心則位於德州休士頓

The Saturn Five rocket was 363 feet tall.

農神五號火箭高達363英尺

Just to get a good size comparison,

為了更好理解它的大小...

here's the size of a person,

這是一個人的大小

and here is the size of a Boeing 747.

而這是一架波音747的大小

The Saturn Five was split up into 3 stages;

農神五號火箭共分為三節

they referred to each stage by a technical name.

每一節都有個各自的名稱

The first stage was called the S-1C

第一節叫做S-IC

and was powered by five F1 rocket engines.

它是由五具F-1火箭發動機推動

The second stage was called the S2, and was powered

第二節叫做S-II，它是由五具

by five, slightly smaller, J2 rocket engines.

較小的J-2火箭發動機所推動

The third stage was called the S-4B and was powered

第三節叫做S-IVB，動力來源

by only one J2 rocket engine.

則是一具J-2火箭發動機

The actual spacecraft, was stored up at the top of the

真正的太空船則是安裝在

rocket stages.

各級火箭的頂端

Here is the Lunar Module, which would actually land on

這是實際執行登月任務的

the Moon.

登月艙

During the launch, it was protected by four panels,

發射時，它是由四片稱為

known as the spacecraft Lunar Module adapter.

「太空船登月艙結合器」的外板所保護

The Service Module contain the engines necessary to

服務艙裝載著進出月球軌道所需的

enter and leave lunar orbit as well as fuel cells

火箭發動機和燃料電池

and other electrical components.

以及其他的電子組件

The Command Module is where the 3 astronauts spent

指揮艙則是三位太空人航程中

most of their time.

所待最久的艙室

At the very top, you'll find the Launch Escape System.

而在火箭的最頂端則是發射逃生系統

In the event of an emergency, it would carry

它能在緊急狀況下讓指揮艙安全地

the Command Module safely away from the rocket.

脫離火箭本體

The structure you see next to the Saturn Five

位於神農五號火箭旁邊的結構物

is called the Launch Umbilical Tower.

叫做「發射塔」

You'll notice there are 9 service arms that provide

還能看見上面共有九根橫臂

access to the Saturn Five.

讓工作人員能夠接近農神五號火箭

On the day of the launch, the 3 astronauts ride an

在發射當日，三位太空人

elevator to the top service arm.

將搭乘電梯到達最上方的橫臂

The White Room is where they enter the Command Module.

「無塵室」是他們進入指揮艙的地點

Four of the service arms are moved out of the way

其中四根發射前橫臂(preflight arms)

before the launch.

會在發射前就移開

The First Stage ignites 8 seconds before the Saturn Five

第一級會在農神五號火箭升空前

leaves the ground.

八秒點火

As the Saturn Five starts to rise,

當農神五號火箭開始升空時

the remaining 5 service arms quickly rotate to get out of

剩下的五根發射中橫臂(inflight arms)

the way.

才會快速移開

It takes about 12 seconds for the rocket to completely

火箭本體要花12秒才能

clear the tower.

完全脫離發射塔

As the Saturn Five picks up speed,

當農神五號火箭開始加速時

the astronauts will feel as much as 4 G's, or 4 times

太空人會承受高達4G的重力

the amount of gravity pressing them into their seats.

也就是自身體重四倍的力量壓著他們

The First Stage shuts off at 2 minutes 42 seconds

第一級發動機會在2分42秒後關斷(OECO)

at a height of about 42 miles.

這時的高度約是42英里

Explosive bolts detonate releasing the first stage,

爆炸螺栓會起爆使第一級脫離

letting it to fall back down to the Atlantic Ocean;

並讓它自由落下至大西洋中

shortly after, the second stage fires up.

而第二級緊接著馬上點燃

We're high enough in the atmosphere now, that the

這時火箭的高度已經夠高

Launch Escape System is no longer needed.

所以發射逃生系統已經不再需要(LET)

The second stage shuts off at 9 minutes and 12 seconds

第二級會在發射後9分12秒關斷(OECO)

at a height of 109 miles.

這時的高度是109英里

The third stage fires up for a short amount of time

第三級火箭發動機短暫點燃一段時間

to get the astronauts into a Parking Orbit

將太空人送進高度118英里的

of 118 miles.

停駐軌道

We'll talk more about the Parking Orbit in the next video.

我們將在下一部影片介紹停駐軌道

It shuts off at 11 minutes and 39 seconds, but does not detach yet.

第三級火箭在發射後11分39秒關斷，但暫時不會脫離本體

One of the hardest parts of the mission is over, but the adventure doesn't stop here.

任務最困難的階段之一已經結束，但冒險才正要開始

Please join me in part two, as we continue our journey towards the Moon.
