　　The United States claims that the commercial manned test flight debut will not be hindered by the epidemic

　　Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Zhang Mengran) According to recent news from the official website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), SpaceX and NASA said that although some space missions are affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, they will not stop 5 The launch of the "Manned Dragon" spacecraft at the end of the month completed the first US commercial manned test flight. In addition, the classic NASA red "worm" logo that has been "retired" for 28 years has been printed on the "Falcon 9" rocket and re-posted to express the meaning of the return of human space flight in the United States.

　　Once SpaceX's mission is successful, it will become the most important milestone in the history of commercial aerospace. According to the plan, it is only about six weeks before the US commercial manned launch. SpaceX and NASA are preparing for the launch with "full force", and conduct a comprehensive simulation to minimize the error rate of each link. The two astronauts in the test flight, Bob Becken and Doug Hurley, are currently performing related simulation training. NASA stated that relevant personnel continue to work on the manned project under the premise of good security protection.

　　It is worth noting that the new "Falcon 9" first-class rocket used by the manned launch of the Dragon spacecraft was sprayed with the famous red "worm" logo that has been "retired" for 28 years.

　　NASA believes that this classic logo is actually synonymous with "that space era", which was decorated with the Hubble telescope and the earliest test space shuttle. However, although the "worm" design was well-loved, it was officially "retired" in 1992, and the "meatball" logo was launched until now.

　　NASA is still evaluating how and where to use this famous logo in the future, but NASA Director Jim Bridenstine said: "It is very likely that in future missions, you will see this logo appear in other official ways. . "
