- n.利用大氣之摩擦而減低太空船之運動速度
英汉例句
- This process is a natural version of the aerobraking procedure that many planetary probes have used to enter orbit.
這可說是自然界的空氣煞車程序，許多行星探測船都得靠著空氣煞車來進入軌道。 - But the aerobraking will last until late January, at which point Odyssey will whip around Mars once every two hours about 250 miles above the planet's surface.
數天之後，探測器將開始它有限的探測工作。 - In the coming months, MRO's orbit will be circularized through repeated passages into Mars' outer atmosphere, a process known as aerobraking, shrinking its orbit to an altitude of only 280 kilometers.
在接下來的幾個月裡，MRO的軌道將重複經過火星的外大氣層，這就是減速過程，它將軌道高度降低到衹有280公裡。
