Newtalk新聞 美國空軍研究實驗室（AFRL）透過SpaceX「獵鷹9號」火箭發射「Starfall」重返艙，成功測試搭載實驗性貨物艙的軍事補給運送能力，朝向「一小時內將關鍵裝備送達地球任何地點」的目標邁進。 此次任務為SpaceX「Bandwagon-5」共享發射任務的一部分，從佛羅里達州卡納維爾角太空軍基地（Cape Canaveral Space Force Station，CCSFS）升空。Starfall重返艙攜帶AFRL研發的「敏捷貨物艙」（agile cargo pods），內含通訊設備、電池、生存補給、醫療器材及逆滲透海水淡化系統等代表性軍事裝備，並配置感測器監測發射與大氣層重返過程中的溫度、衝擊與震動。 貨物艙在太平洋濺落後成功回收。AFRL技術轉移辦公室主管官員表示，這次測試是展示火箭貨運（Rocket Cargo）點對點快速全球機動潛力的關鍵成就。 火箭貨運計畫為AFRL主導的研發項目，目標是利用大型商用液態推進火箭（如SpaceX星艦），在戰術時間內將數十噸物資（相當於C-17運輸機載量）快速投送至無跑道、無道路的偏遠或爭奪地區，包括爭奪後勤、遠征作戰、救援、災害應變及化生放核危害應對。官方資料指出，此概念預計可在約一小時至一個半小時內達成全球投送。 此次測試屬「快速發射」驗證，而非長期軌道預置（pre-positioned）。Starfall是SpaceX開發的無人碟形／圓柱形重返艙，直徑約3.1公尺，可載重約1,000公斤，以降落傘濺落回收，兼具微重力實驗與點對點貨運潛力；本次任務為其第二次飛行，並非長期停泊軌道待命，而是直接發射後重返以測試裝備耐受性。更大載重的星艦點對點示範仍規劃中，計畫強調商用火箭的快速響應能力，而非預先儲存於軌道。 AFRL強調，與其他快速投送方案相比，火箭貨運的優勢在於單次發射可運送數十噸級物資。相關技術仍處研發階段，尚未完成實際作戰點對點投送示範，後續將持續與SpaceX等業者合作迭代測試。 這項進展顯示美軍正探索以太空為新物流管道，補強傳統空運與海運在緊急或衝突環境中的限制。延伸閱讀：中國轟炸機戰力升級 轟-6KG加掛電子干擾吊艙擾敵楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債？台灣不該「偏聽」馬斯克豪砸1.2兆 SpaceX籌資搶購輝達AI晶片馬斯克認了！SpaceX曾限速烏克蘭星鏈 烏方反駁：技術上辦不到
