“It’s a mathematical problem, and a fascinating one at that, ” says JPL’s Chodas.

“这是个数学问题，而且就这一点说很吸引人，”喷气推进实验室的卓达斯说。

I have wanted to work at JPL on these missions since I was 14 years old and I am privileged to be a part of it.

我自打14岁起，就想工作在喷气推进实验室来研究这个项目，如今我有幸成为了其中的一员。

A 900-foot-wide asteroid called Apophis caused a stir in 2004 when JPL calculated there was a 3 percent chance it would slam into Earth in 2029.

2004年，一颗直径900英尺，名为阿波菲斯的小行星引起了全球躁动，因为喷气推进实验室计算出它有3%的几率在2029年撞击地球。

JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, played a lead role in developing the digital imaging technology that's now used for CAT scans and radiography!

喷气推进实验室喷气推进实验室(JPL)在数字成像技术的开发中发挥了主导作用，该技术目前应用于CAT扫描和放射学！

With guidance from JPL and the principal investigator, engineers at Lockheed Martin Space Systems designed and built a special radiation vault made of titanium for a centralized electronics hub.

在喷气推进实验室的指导下，洛克希德马丁公司空间系统部的主要研究人员和工程师们为探测器中央控制器设计了一个特殊的钛合金抗辐射拱顶。
