NASA announced last year it had decided on a plan to deorbit the ISS after service ends in 2030.

NASA去年宣布，它已决定在2030年服务结束后使国际空间站脱离轨道。

NASA said its contract with SpaceX to build the deorbit vehicle was worth 843 million dollars.

NASA表示，其与SpaceX建造脱轨飞行器的合同价值8.43亿美元。

Neither NASA nor SpaceX have provided further information about the planned deorbit vehicle.

NASA和SpaceX都没有提供有关计划中的脱轨飞行器的进一步信息。

He said the current plan is for the deorbit vehicle to be based on the design of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.

他说，目前的计划是，脱轨飞行器将基于SpaceX“天龙号”飞船的设计。

Spetch noted that while the new deorbit vehicle would be based on Dragon, its design would require " some modifications and changes."

斯佩奇指出，虽然新的脱轨飞行器将基于“天龙号”飞船，但其设计需要“一些修改和改变”。

The agency noted that while SpaceX will develop the deorbit spacecraft, NASA " will take ownership after development and operate it throughout its mission."

该航天局指出，虽然SpaceX将开发脱轨航天器，但NASA“将在开发后拥有所有权，并在整个任务期间运营它。”

In a statement, NASA said it chose the method of deorbiting with a specially designed vehicle to provide a " safe and responsible deorbit of the ISS in a controlled manner."

NASA在一份声明中表示，它选择了使用专门设计的飞行器脱轨的方法，是为了“以可控的方式安全、负责地脱离国际空间站”。

He said in a statement that having a deorbit vehicle " will help NASA and its international partners ensure a safe and responsible transition in low Earth orbit at the end of station operations."

他在一份声明中表示，拥有脱轨飞行器“将有助于NASA及其国际合作伙伴确保空间站运营结束时在低地球轨道上进行安全和负责任的过渡。”
