Mummy exhibits at new museum

With its dark walls and dimly lit open rooms, the crypt-like Royal Mummies Hall at Cairo's new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) opened to visitors for the first time on Sunday, displaying 20 mummies of ancient Egyptian kings and queens.

Russia plans its own space station
俄計劃開造本國空間站

Russia is ready to start building its own space station with the aim of launching it into orbit by 2030 if President Vladimir Putin gives the go-ahead, the head of its Roscosmos space agency said. "If in 2030, in accordance with our plans, we can put it into orbit, it will be a colossal breakthrough," said Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin. 
俄羅斯國家航天集團(tuán)公司總經(jīng)理羅戈津表示，俄羅斯將開始建造自己的空間站，并計劃于2030年前將其送入軌道，目前正在等俄羅斯總統(tǒng)普京批準(zhǔn)。羅戈津說："如果能按照我們的計劃，在2030年前將其送入軌道，那將是一個巨大突破。"

Rogozin said the Russian station, unlike the ISS, would most likely not be permanently crewed because its orbit path would expose it to higher radiation. But cosmonauts would visit, and it would also use artificial intelligence and robots. He said Russia was ready to consider allowing foreign crews to visit. 
羅戈津表示，與國際空間站不同，俄羅斯空間站很可能不會永久性載人，因其軌道路徑將使其暴露在更高的輻射中，但宇航員可以前去空間站，也會使用人工智能和機(jī)器人。他還說，俄羅斯準(zhǔn)備考慮允許外國人員訪問。

An unnamed source said that Russia planned to spend up to $6b to get the project launched. Russian deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov told Russian TV over the weekend that Moscow would give notice to its partners that it would leave the ISS project in 2025. Russian cosmonauts have worked with counterparts from the US and 16 other countries on the ISS since 1998. 
一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士說，俄羅斯計劃斥資60億美元啟動該項目。俄羅斯副總理尤里?鮑里索夫在上周末向俄羅斯電視臺表示，莫斯科將通知其合作伙伴，其將從2025年退出國際空間站項目。自1998年來，俄羅斯宇航員在國際空間站與美國及其他16個國家進(jìn)行了合作。
