Yes, that’s right. The classic NASA “worm” logo is back! An image of the revived NASA worm logo was released on Twitter by NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine as well as press release on the NASA.gov website. NASA explained that original NASA insignia is an iconic symbol widely recognized in the world. The NASA “meatball” logo as many know it by represented patriotic American colors. A red chevron wing piercing a blue sphere(Planet) with white stars, and an spacecraft orbiting. This “meatball” logo was not easy to reproduce with 1970’s technology so the Federal Design Improvement Program introduced in 1975 a new logo, the “worm.”

是的，这是对的。 经典的NASA“蠕虫”徽标又回来了！ NASA管理员Jim Jimnstine在Twitter上发布了已恢复的NASA蠕虫徽标的图片，并在NASA.gov网站上发布了新闻稿。 NASA解释说，原始的NASA徽章是世界上公认的标志性符号。 众所周知，美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的“肉丸”徽标是代表美国爱国色彩的。 一条红色的人字形翅膀刺穿一个带有白色星星的蓝色球体(行星)，并且航天器在轨道运行。 这个“肉丸”徽标很难用1970年代的技术来复制，因此，联邦设计改进计划于1975年引入了一个新徽标，即“蠕虫”。

有关徽标的一些历史 (Some History about the logo)

By the beginning of World War I, the United States lagged behind Europe in airplane technology. On March 3, 1915, Congress founded NACA as an independent government agency in response to the perception that the United States was falling behind in aeronautical technology. NACA would report directly to the President with the purpose to catch up. But technology had evolved, and once again the US was falling behind in technology. Russia launched Sputnik. The space race was being lost.

到第一次世界大战开始时，美国的飞机技术已经落后于欧洲。 1915年，国会认为美国在航空技术方面落后，因此国会成立了NACA作为独立政府机构。 NACA将直接向总统汇报，以跟上潮流。 但是技术在发展，美国再次落后于技术。 俄罗斯发射了人造卫星。 太空竞赛正在丢失。

NACA was disbanded and absorbed by NASA along with other agencies in 1958

1958年，NACA与其他机构一起解散并吸收了NASA

Following the launch of Sputnik, the United States created NASA to catch up in the space race and pull ahead. In order to help spur on a wave of national enthusiasm in support of the nation’s aeronautical, a logo would be needed. The new agency set out to design a new logo and came up with various options for consideration.

人造卫星发射后，美国创建了NASA，以赶上太空竞赛并向前迈进。 为了激发一波支持国家航空的热情，将需要一个徽标。 新机构着手设计新徽标，并提出了多种选择供考虑。

The red emblem contained on the NASA logo, has erroneously been referred to as a “slash,” “vector,” “airfoil,” “hypersonic wing design,” and even as an “alternate shape of the constellationAndromeda.” It was based on a wooden model for an arrow-wing design.

NASA徽标上包含的红色标志被错误地称为“斜线”，“矢量”，“机翼”，“超人的机翼设计”，甚至被称为“仙女座星座的另一种形状”。 它基于用于箭翼设计的木制模型。

The official NASA seal was submitted with the “Meatball” enclosed within the words National Aeronautics and Space Administration and meeting the US government requirements. The logo that most people are used to seeing is just the inside simplified logo that is less-formal than the the official NASA seal. The NASA meatball is among the most-recognized emblems throughout the world.

提交的NASA官方印章带有“丸子”字样，并在国家航空和航天局(National Aeronautical and Space Administration)字样内并符合美国政府要求。 大多数人习惯看到的徽标只是内部简化的徽标，其形式不如美国国家航空航天局的官方印章正式。 NASA肉丸是全世界最知名的标志之一。

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10849 establishing the NASA seal on 27 November 1959. The description of the seal in the order:On a disc of the blue sky strewn with white stars, to dexter a large yellow sphere bearing a red flight symbol apex in upper sinister and wings enveloping and casting a gray-blue shadow upon the sphere, all partially encircled with a horizontal white orbit, in sinister a small light-blue sphere; circumscribing the disk a white band edged gold inscribed “National Aeronautics and Space Administration U.S.A.” in red letters.

艾森豪威尔总统(Dwight D. Eisenhower)于1959年11月27日签署10849号行政命令，建立了NASA密封。该密封的说明： 在撒满白色星星的蓝天圆盘上，散布带有红色飞行符号的大黄色球体上险恶的顶点和翅膀包围并在球体上投射出灰蓝色阴影，在险恶的浅蓝色小球体中全部被水平的白色轨道所包围； 磁盘外圈有一个白色带边的金色字样，上面刻有红色字母“美国国家航空航天局”。

Some other small changes came when the seal was amended by the Kennedy administration. Executive Order 10942, 22 May 1961 changed the color of the shadow on the sphere was changed from gray-blue to brown under. Small details. NASA’s first administrator asked for a simplified insignia for the informal uses of the new Agency. The informal insignia would widely appear on items such as lapel pins, building signs and so on.

肯尼迪政府修改印章后，还进行了其他一些小的更改。 1961年5月22日第10942号行政命令将球体上阴影的颜色从灰色蓝色变为棕色。 小细节。 NASA的第一位管理员要求为新机构的非正式用途提供简化的徽章。 非正式徽章将广泛出现在诸如徽章，建筑物标志等物品上。

NASA opted to make a change in the Logo in the 1970’s. NASA wanted to provide a more contemporary look along with simplification of the printing. 1970’s printing technology had difficulties with reproducing the colors of the meatball in the printing process. The NASA logotype or “The Worm” simplified both the design and ability to reproduce. It featured a simple, red unique type style of the word NASA. The iconic NASA logotype was created by the firm of Danne & Blackburn. In 1984, President Reagan honored “the Worm” for its simplistic, yet innovative design.

NASA选择在1970年代更改徽标。 NASA希望在简化打印的同时提供更具现代感的外观。 1970年的印刷技术在印刷过程中难以再现肉丸的颜色。 NASA徽标或“蠕虫”简化了设计和复制能力。 它具有NASA字样的简单，红色独特字样。 NASA的标志性标志是由Danne＆Blackburn公司创建的。 1984年，里根(Reagan)总统表彰“蠕虫”的设计简单而又新颖。

Not everyone adored the new NASA logotype. Inside, there were mixed feelings. There were concerns for costs to change over and replace the older logo. Many people still liked the older logo better. In time, “the Worm” was cast aside.

并非所有人都喜欢新的NASA标识。 里面有百感交集。 有人担心更换和更换旧徽标的成本。 许多人仍然更喜欢旧徽标。 随着时间的流逝，“蠕虫”被抛在一边。

On April 1, 1992, the new NASA administrator appointed by President George H. W. Bush, Daniel S. Goldin retired the logo and brought back “the meatball.”

1992年4月1日，由美国总统乔治·布什(George HW Bush)任命的新的NASA管理员丹尼尔·S·戈尔丁(Daniel S. Goldin)撤消了徽标，并带回了“肉丸”。

NASA was able to thrive with multiple graphic designs. There was a place for both the meatball and the worm. However, in 1992, the 1970s brand was retired — except on clothing and other souvenir items — in favor of the original late 1950s graphic.

NASA凭借多种图形设计得以蓬勃发展。 肉丸和蠕虫都有地方。 但是，在1992年，由于服装和其他纪念品除外，1970年代的品牌退役，转而支持1950年代后期的原始图形。

April 3, 2020, Jim Bridenstine NASA Administrator announced the return of the iconic NASA logotype. On the Falcon 9 rocket that will carry two American astronauts to the ISS for the first time since 2011 will be “the Worm” NASA logotype.

2020年4月3日，美国国家航空航天局局长Jim Bridenstine宣布恢复标志性的NASA标志。 自2011年以来， 猎鹰9号火箭将首次搭载两名美国宇航员前往国际空间站，这将是“蠕虫” NASA的标志。

“I grew up inspired by @NASA missions during the era of the NASA worm. In fact, I was born in 1975, the year the NASA worm logo was first introduced. In the 80s, I had a NASA X-29 (my favorite plane) poster hanging in my room. It sported the NASA worm on its tail.”

“我 是在NASA蠕虫时代 受 @NASA 任务 启发而长大的 。 实际上，我是1975年出生的，那一年是NASA蠕虫徽标的首次提出。 在80年代，我的房间里挂着NASA X-29(我最喜欢的飞机)海报。 它的尾巴上有NASA蠕虫。”
