cosmos satellite

基本解釋

The incident is thought to have involved a 12-year-old satellite belonging to the US company Iridium and a defunct Russian Cosmos satellite that was put into orbit in 1993.
這起事故是關(guān)于美國銥公司12年前發(fā)射的一顆衛(wèi)星，以及俄羅斯1993年發(fā)射的已經(jīng)失效的宇宙衛(wèi)星。
Industry officials say Iridium has identified the Russian craft as a Cosmos series satellite launched in 1993, weighing more than a ton and including an onboard nuclear reactor.
業(yè)內(nèi)人士說，銥星公司已經(jīng)確定俄羅斯的衛(wèi)星是1993年發(fā)射“宇宙”系列衛(wèi)星之一，重量超過一噸，衛(wèi)星上裝有一個(gè)核反應(yīng)堆。
Some of the blame can even be divvied up; last year an operational Iridium communications satellite collided with a spent Russian Cosmos spacecraft, spawning nearly 2,000 pieces of smaller debris.
其中有一部分責(zé)任甚至應(yīng)當(dāng)均攤，去年一顆運(yùn)行中的銥星與一艘作廢的俄羅斯宇宙飛行器相撞，增加了將近2000塊小碎片。
