Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory even once investigated sending a solar sail to rendezvous and ride along with Halley's Comet during its pass in 1986.
喷气推进实验室的科学家们甚至考虑在1986年哈雷彗星经过时发射一个太阳帆与它会合，并沿着它的轨迹飞行。
Making the stuff of science fiction into reality, NASA engineers are testing solar sails — a unique propulsion technology that one day could enable deep space missions.
NASA的工程师将科幻小说中的素材变成了现实，他们正在检查太阳帆-这中独特的推进技术最终有一天会使深空任务成为可能。
That's the idea behind solar sails, which harness radiation for propulsion in space, for instance.
太空旅行计划促成这一想法的实现，比如利用太阳辐射产生推动力。
NASA plans to test a full-size solar sail for chemical-free propulsion and a deep space atomic clock.
此外，美国国家航空航天局（下文简称NASA）还计划测试一个完整尺寸的太阳帆，为航天器提供绿色推进能源，以及测试一个深空原子钟。
The hexagonal solar panels supply power to a unique propulsion system.
六边形的太阳能板为一个独特的推进系统提供动力。
Instead of relying on sunlight, it would use the solar wind's plasma (which travels at 310 miles, or 500 kilometers, per second) as its means of propulsion.
与上述提到的设计不同之处在于，他们的设计不依赖利用太阳光，而是利用太阳风中的等离子流(每秒310英里/500公里)作为助推动力。
The satellite is designed to test the effectiveness of what is called solar sail propulsion.
该卫星的设计目的是测试太阳帆推进技术的有效性。
The term solar sail is a misnomer, since Count Dooku's interstellar sloop USES an as-yet unknown brand of energetic propulsion far more exotic than stellar radiation.
“太阳帆船”这一称呼其实并不恰当，因为杜库伯爵的星际小帆船利用的是一种至今仍不清楚类型的能量推进力，它远比恒星辐射更奇特。
