2014年冬季奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)將在俄羅斯索契舉行。主辦方表示，2014年冬奧會(huì)圣火火炬在到達(dá)主辦城市索契之前，有可能會(huì)被傳遞至國(guó)際空間站，進(jìn)行一次短暫的太空旅行。俄羅斯聯(lián)邦航天局副局長(zhǎng)達(dá)維多夫稱，把奧運(yùn)圣火傳遞到國(guó)際空間站是個(gè)非常有趣的想法，但是真正實(shí)現(xiàn)還需要進(jìn)一步的研究，“這是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的創(chuàng)意，在理論上有一定的可行性”。達(dá)維多夫說(shuō)，國(guó)際空間站實(shí)驗(yàn)艙內(nèi)明確規(guī)定不準(zhǔn)有明火，并且艙內(nèi)同時(shí)有美國(guó)、俄羅斯和其他國(guó)家的宇航員。但是，俄羅斯聯(lián)邦航天局并不反對(duì)奧運(yùn)火炬登上太空這個(gè)創(chuàng)意。

The Olympic torch rally traditionally spans the world before reaching the host city.

The Olympic flame that will travel the world before reaching the Russian resort town of Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics may also a pay a brief visit to space, according to a top official.

An Olympic visit to the International Space Station is an "interesting" idea that requires further study, according to Vitaly Davydov, deputy head of Russia's Federal Space Agency.

"It is not a bad idea," Mr Davydov said. "It is theoretically possible."

The space official admitted that open flames were not allowed on board the international space lab, which is manned by US, Russian and various other astronauts.

But he said that his agency was open to ideas from Russia officials if they do decide to send the torch and flame to space.

Russia has been pulling out all the stops since winning the 2014 Games, a prestige event that the Black Sea resort town won against all the odds on the back of a personal lobbying effort from former President Vladimir Putin.

The Games have been estimated to cost about $31 billion (￡19 million).

The Olympic torch rally traditionally spans the world before reaching the host city.

Davydov said Wednesday tradition prevented Russia from taking the novel step of lighting the torch in space from sunbeams.
