adj.不滿軌道一整圈的(亞軌道的)

Today NASA launched a suborbital rocket, but had to shoot it out of the sky due to alleged "launch failure. 很少被提起的關(guān)于全球變暖的事實(shí)：它使地球所有人煙稀少的地區(qū)變成人間天堂。

In the meantime, Lockheed Martin managers are focusing on suborbital sounding rockets for hybrid motors. 在此同時(shí)，洛克希德馬丁公司的人員正致力研究供次軌道探空火箭使用的混合型馬達(dá)。

In addition to orbital trips, Space Adventures says it is developing a programme to take passengers on suborbital flights starting in 2007. 現(xiàn)下正在開發(fā)的一項(xiàng)工程是讓旅客離開地球軌道的束縛而進(jìn)行軌道外的飛行，這個(gè)項(xiàng)目大概會(huì)在2007年完成。

Could this actually be an effort to discourage suborbital rockets, which might break through the space debris and catch sight of the Universe society? 這有可能是為了抵制亞軌道火箭的一種手段么？因?yàn)樗鼘_破太空垃圾構(gòu)成的天然屏障而將外部宇宙大社會(huì)的芳容盡收眼底。

Another unconventional design element, the hybrid rocket engine that powers the suborbital vehicle, provides unique operational options. 另一個(gè)異于傳統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)要素，是提供次軌道載具動(dòng)力的混合式火箭引擎，它能提供獨(dú)特的操作選擇。
