「简报」卡耐基梅隆大学的 Iris 号和 MoonArk 离开匹兹堡前往月球；规划火星生命
卡耐基梅隆大学已经开始了历史性的登月之旅。Iris（鸢尾花）是由 CMU 学生建造的小型轻型月球车，MoonArk 则是由教师、学生和校友领导的合作雕塑项目，他们于 11 月 3 日早上离开匹兹堡，前往佛罗里达州的发射台。
项目计划于 12 月 24 日星期日发射到月球。联合发射联盟（ULA）的火箭将把这两个大学项目送上月球，并宣布这一日期是 Vulcan Centaur 火箭的最早发射窗口。

Carnegie Mellon University has started its historic journey to the moon.
Iris, a tiny, lightweight lunar rover built by CMU students, and MoonArk, a collaborative sculpture project led by faculty, students and alumni, left Pittsburgh on Friday morning en route to their launch pad in Florida.
The projects are scheduled to launch to the moon on Sunday, Dec. 24. United Launch Alliance (ULA), whose rocket will carry the two university projects to the moon, announced the date as the earliest possible launch window for its Vulcan Centaur rocket.

Kristine Ferrone 手持着的辐射剂量计发出柔和的蜂鸣声，她正在绘制犹他州南部沙漠深处偏远、贫瘠的土地地图。她几乎感觉自己身处另一个星球——这也是她的目的。
她是卡耐基梅隆大学的校友，在犹他州 Hanksville 附近的火星沙漠研究站（MDRS）指挥 269 号机组人员。MDRS 是一个由火星协会运营的火星模拟项目。在两周时间内，Ferrone 领导着六人小组，他们像宇航员一样在 MDRS 中生活和工作。

The soft beeps from the handheld radiation dosimeter kept Kristine Ferrone company as she mapped the remote, barren landscape deep in the desert of southern Utah. She almost felt like she was on another planet. That was the goal.
The Carnegie Mellon University alumna commanded Crew 269 at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) near Hanksville, Utah. For two weeks, Ferrone led the six-person crew, who lived and worked like astronauts at the MDRS, a Mars analog run by the Mars Society.
