Der europ\u00e4ische Weltraumbahnhof bei Kourou in Franz\u00f6sisch-Guayana ist einer der modernsten und effizientesten Startpl\u00e4tze der Welt. In den vergangenen 35 Jahren wurden drei Startrampen und zahlreiche weitere Geb\u00e4ude errichtet, um die europ\u00e4ische Raumfahrtindustrie zu unterst\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Die Starts aller europ\u00e4ischen Ariane-Tr\u00e4gerraketen fanden in Kourou statt. F\u00fcr den neuen Ariane-5-Supertr\u00e4ger wurde der Weltraumbahnhof eigens um den Startkomplex ELA-3 erweitert. Er ist auf bis zu zehn Ariane-5-Missionen j\u00e4hrlich ausgelegt.<\/p>\n

ELA-3 bedeckt eine Fl\u00e4che von 3 x 5 km - das ist gr\u00f6\u00dfer als 1500 Fu\u00dfballfelder. Au\u00dfer der Abschussrampe umfasst es Geb\u00e4ude, in welchen Raketen und Satelliten vorbereitet werden und ein Werk f\u00fcr die Herstellung von Treibstoff f\u00fcr die Feststoffraketen der Ariane-5.<\/p>\n

Die Satelliten treffen, in Container verpackt, mit dem Flugzeug auf dem Flughafen Rochambeau in Cayenne ein. Gro\u00dfe Raketenstufen werden aus Europa mit einem der Spezialtransportschiffe angeliefert und am Paricabo Dock gel\u00f6scht. Die Satelliten und Raketenstufen werden dann auf der Stra\u00dfe zum nahe gelegenen Weltraumbahnhof transportiert.<\/p>\n

Daraufhin beginnt im 58 Meter hohen Integrationsgeb\u00e4ude der Zusammenbau der Ariane-5. Nach 13 Tagen wird die Tr\u00e4gerrakete dann auf ihrer mobilen Startplattform langsam \u00fcber Gleise zu dem 90 Meter hohen Endmontagegeb\u00e4ude gerollt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
