Den 135. og sidste rumf\u00e6rgemission blev affyret fra Florida den 8. juli med fire astronauter om bord p\u00e5 vej til Den Internationale Rumstation (ISS). Mere end 750.000 mennesker overv\u00e6rede starten p\u00e5 den historiske mission. N\u00e5r Atlantis vender tilbage, vil verdens eneste genanvendelige rumfart\u00f8j blive udstillet p\u00e5 museer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

30 \u00e5r efter, at rumf\u00e6rge\u00e6raen begyndte, vil USA ikke l\u00e6ngere v\u00e6re i stand til at sende sine astronauter ud i rummet. Flere private virksomheder er begyndt at udvikle kapsler og raketter, der vil kunne transportere bes\u00e6tninger til ISS. Det er dog usandsynligt, at disse vil v\u00e6re klar til brug f\u00f8r tidligst i 2015. P\u00e5 l\u00e6ngere sigt planl\u00e6gger USA at bygge en kraftfuld ny raket, der vil kunne transportere et stort bemandet rumfart\u00f8j til ISS og videre \u2013 ligesom Apollo-rumfart\u00f8jet, der bragte mennesker til M\u00e5nen.<\/p>\n

I mellemtiden vil USA, Europa og de fleste andre lande v\u00e6re afh\u00e6ngige af det russiske Sojuz-rumfart\u00f8j til at transportere deres astronauter til og fra rumstationen. Sojuz gennemf\u00f8rte sin f\u00f8rste flyvning i 1967. Siden da er det blevet moderniseret mange gange, men den overordnede konstruktion er stadig den samme.<\/p>\n

Under opsendelsen fra Baikonur-kosmodromen i Kasakhstan sidder den tre mand store bes\u00e6tning inde i en lille kabine. N\u00e5r de n\u00e5r kredsl\u00f8b, kan de flytte over i et andet modul. Et servicemodul bagest rummer hovedmotoren, styresystemerne og iltforsyningen. Kun bes\u00e6tningskabinen vender tilbage til Jorden, h\u00e6ngende under en stor faldsk\u00e6rm.<\/p>\n

Det eneste andet land, der er i stand til at sende mennesker ud i rummet, er Kina. Udviklingen af det kinesiske rumfart\u00f8j Shenzhou, som i sin konstruktion minder meget om Soyuz, begyndte i 1990\u2019erne. Siden da har kinesiske bes\u00e6tninger v\u00e6ret i kredsl\u00f8b om Jorden tre gange. Senere p\u00e5 \u00e5ret forventes et Shenzhou-rumfart\u00f8j at dokke til et nyt ubemandet modul kaldet Tiangong. P\u00e5 l\u00e6ngere sigt har ogs\u00e5 Indien og Iran planer om at blive rumfartsnationer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
