The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge.

47、It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar means “between the earth and the moon.”The challenge is simple: to design, build and deliver “flight-qualified, small satellites.” NASA officials say the satellites must be able t

48、o perform “advanced operations near and beyond the moon.”Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the CisLunar Explorer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell Univ

49、ersity. He once worked as NASAs chief technologist.

50、ut what if we could use whats already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft while theyre already in space.”The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the s

51、atellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark (火花), an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.The CisLunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to cop

52、y how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satellite is equipped with cameras.

53、, the CisLunar Explorers will do the mathematics to find their position.The competition is being held in four parts. The Cornell team has been among the top three competitors during parts one and two. The winners of the third stage will be announced in about a month. The final three winners will be
