Med planlagt opsendelse den 6. juni skal Alexander rejse ud i rummet i en Sojuz-kapsel sammen med sine medrejsende, den russiske kosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev og den amerikanske astronaut Serena Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor. Han skal tilbringe seks m\u00e5neder ombord p\u00e5 stationen, hvor han skal gennemf\u00f8re en lang r\u00e6kke sp\u00e6ndende forskningseksperimenter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Alexander er en erfaren astronaut, der tidligere har v\u00e6ret i rummet. Fra maj til november 2014 var han ombord p\u00e5 Den Internationale Rumstation som led i Blue Dot-missionen. Siden han vendte tilbage, har han tr\u00e6net til sit n\u00e6ste eventyr.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"4929\" data-credit=\"ESA\/Steinbeis Beratungszentrum\/Hochschule Darmstadt\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2018\/05\/Horizons_logo\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2018\/05\/horizons_logo\/17875555-2-eng-GB\/Horizons_logo.jpg\" alt=\"Horizons logo\"><figcaption>Horizons-logoet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hans nye mission hedder \u201cHorizons\u201d og har et s\u00e6rligt logo med forskellige symboler, der skal repr\u00e6sentere Alexanders anden rejse ud i rummet. Logoet best\u00e5r af et menneskeansigt, der kigger opad, en tynd bl\u00e5 streg, der symboliserer Jordens atmosf\u00e6re, og Den Internationale Rumstations bane omkring Jorden! Alexander gl\u00e6der sig til at vende tilbage til rummet. Han siger: \u00bbJeg kan n\u00e6sten ikke vente med at se rumstationen igen, som blev mit andet hjem i 2014.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Under Horizons-missionen vil Alexander udnytte de v\u00e6gtl\u00f8se forhold ombord p\u00e5 rumstationen til at unders\u00f8ge menneskekroppen, biologi og str\u00e5ling samt til at afpr\u00f8ve nye teknologier. Dette vil hj\u00e6lpe os med at f\u00e5 en bedre forst\u00e5else af vores hjemplanet og det univers, vi alle lever i. Som Alexander selv forklarer: \u201cSet p\u00e5 afstand er vores planet blot en bl\u00e5 prik, et skr\u00f8beligt rumskib for menneskeheden. Vi er n\u00f8dt til at forst\u00e5 det univers, vi lever i, for at beskytte vores hjem.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1920\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2018\/05\/Spacesuit_ready\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2018\/05\/spacesuit_ready\/17905978-2-eng-GB\/Spacesuit_ready.jpg\" alt=\"Spacesuit ready\"><figcaption>Rumdragt klar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Under sit ophold ombord p\u00e5 stationen vil Alexander ogs\u00e5 have til opgave at s\u00f8rge for, at de \u00f8vrige bes\u00e6tningsmedlemmer har det godt og arbejder effektivt, at kontrollere, at alt er sikkert, og at f\u00f8lge de instrukser, som flyvelederen i Mission Control p\u00e5 Jorden giver. \u00bbHorizons\u00ab bliver en udfordrende mission, men en, som Alexander er godt forberedt p\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>Hvis du vil holde dig opdateret om Alexanders mission og h\u00f8re om den med hans egne ord, kan du f\u00f8lge hans blog her: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.esa.int\/alexander-gerst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/blogs.esa.int\/alexander-gerst\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vil du gerne rejse til Den Internationale Rumstation?
