Meanwhile, NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System detected multiple fires at the airport, including at the hangar where the plane is kept. The fire at the hangar was detected at 11:13 a.m. on Sunday, according to the NASA data, which is obtained from a number of NOAA and NASA satellites.

It is not clear if these fires at the airport are the result of actual fires or explosions from military strikes.

目前尚不清楚機(jī)場(chǎng)的這些火災(zāi)是否是由于軍事打擊造成的實(shí)際彈射擊或者爆炸引起的。

If confirmed, the attack would mark a shocking end to an aircraft that has seen more than 30 years of service dating back to the days of the Soviet unx.

Some of its fans took to social media on Sunday to express their dismay at claims of the aircraft's destruction. "Mriya - You will always be remembered!" wrote aviation blogger Sam Chui on

該公司的一些粉絲在周日的社交媒體上表達(dá)了對(duì)飛機(jī)被毀的不滿。“米莉亞——你將永遠(yuǎn)被人們記?。　焙娇詹┛妥髡逽am Chui-on寫道

To this day, Mriya remains the heaviest aircraft ever built. Powered by six turbofan engines, she has a maximum payload weight of 250 tonnes, which can be carried inside or on its back. It boasts the largest wingspan of any airplane in operational service.

直到今天，米莉亞仍然是有史以來制造的最重的飛機(jī)。它由六個(gè)渦輪風(fēng)扇發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)提供動(dòng)力，最大有效載荷為250噸，可以在飛機(jī)內(nèi)部或背部攜帶。它擁有所有在役飛機(jī)中最大的翼展。

Only one An-225 was ever built by the Kiev-based Antonov company, which came up with the design. It first took flight in 1988 and has been in service ever since.

只有一架安 -225是由基輔的安東諾夫公司制造的，并且設(shè)計(jì)了它。它于1988年首次試飛，至今仍在服役。

Construction was begun on a second plane, but it was never finished.

第二架飛機(jī)的建造工作已經(jīng)開始了，但從未完工。

The story of the An-225 begins back in the 1960 and '70s when the Soviet unx was locked in a race into space with the United States.

An-225的故事可以追溯到1960年代和70年代，當(dāng)時(shí)蘇聯(lián)正與美國(guó)展開太空競(jìng)賽。

By the end of the 1970s, the need arose for transporting large and heavy loads from their places of assembly to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the sprawling spaceport in the deserts of Kazakhstan that was the launchpad for Yuri Gagarin's pioneering space voyage of 1961.

到了20世紀(jì)70年代末，人們需要將大而重的貨物從裝配場(chǎng)運(yùn)送到拜科努爾航天發(fā)射場(chǎng)，這個(gè)位于哈薩克斯坦沙漠中的航天發(fā)射場(chǎng)曾是1961年尤里 · 加加林準(zhǔn)備開創(chuàng)性太空旅行的地方

The cargo in question was the Buran spacecraft, the Soviet unx's answer to NASA's Space Shuttle. Since there were at the time no airplanes capable of carrying it, the Antonov company was ordered to develop one.

上面問題中提到的貨物就是暴風(fēng)雪航天飛機(jī)，是蘇聯(lián)對(duì)美國(guó)國(guó)家航天局航天飛機(jī)的回應(yīng)。由于當(dāng)時(shí)沒有飛機(jī)能夠運(yùn)載它，安東諾夫公司被命令開發(fā)一架。
