Orion must dock with the upper stage in orbit around Earth before going to the Moon.

猎户座飞船必须与现在轨道的火箭上面级进行对接，然后才能进入月球。

The upper stage, however, appeared to ignite and then shut down, sending it crashing into the Atlantic Ocean.

然而，上面的一级似乎被点燃了，然后关闭，致使其坠入大西洋。

But this time the upper stage reached orbit, at an altitude of 230km.

但这一次上面级已经进入了轨道，高度为 230 公里。

So just delivered the upper stage

从非常高的高度返回并迅速进入太空。

Bridenstine added that NASA would need two private rockets to take over the SLS' job of launching the Orion capsule and an upper stage.

吉姆补充表示，NASA需要私企制造的2个火箭来承担SLS发射猎户座飞船的任务和火箭上面级的任务。

But the upper stage of Starship, built by SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, reached orbit for the first time and completed several test operations before being destroyed while re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

但由埃隆·马斯克的火箭公司 SpaceX 建造的星际飞船上面级首次进入轨道，并完成了几次测试操作，然后在重返地球大气层时被摧毁。

During the second test flight, in November, the Starship upper stage successfully separated from the booster around three minutes into the flight, and continued to fly for another eight minutes, reaching an altitude of 149km.

在11月的第二次试飞中，星际飞船上级在飞行约三分钟后成功与助推器分离，并继续飞行八分钟，达到149公里的高度。
