轨道ATK公司近期表示,2016年公司将自筹资金投资研发用于商业发射服务的新型运载火箭,且不考虑火箭的重复使用性能,并预计该火箭最早可于2019年初投入使用。轨道ATK称,新型火箭具备更大的运载能力,将瞄准商业与政府卫星发射服务市场,与Space X和联合发射联盟等竞争对手将火箭研发的重点放在可复用性能设 Orbit ATK recently said that in 2016 the company will invest its own funds in research and development of new launch vehicles for commercial launching services and will not consider the reusable performance of the rocket and it is estimated that the rockets will be put into operation as early as the beginning of 2019. Orbit ATK said the new rocket has greater carrying capacity and will target the commercial and government satellite launch service markets, with competitors such as Space X and the United Launch Alliance focusing its rocket development efforts on reusable performance sets
