Zehn Jahre nach dem Eintreffen der ersten Expeditionsbesatzung auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS ist jetzt die neueste Mission vom Raumfahrtzentrum Baikonur zu unserem Au\u00dfenposten im Weltraum aufgebrochen. An Bord der Tr\u00e4gerrakete Sojus TMA-20 befinden sich der ESA-Astronaut Paolo Nespoli, der Russe Dimitri Kondratjew und die NASA-Astronautin Catherine Coleman. Ihre \u00dcberfahrt zur Raumstation umfasst 35 Umrundungen der Erde und drei Haupttriebwerksz\u00fcndungen. Das automatische Andocken an der ISS ist f\u00fcr den Abend des 17. Dezember vorgesehen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

W\u00e4hrend seiner sechsmonatigen Mission ist Paolo Flugingenieur f\u00fcr die Expeditionen 26 und 27. Zus\u00e4tzlich zu seinen Pflichten als Flugingenieur hat er die Aufgabe, \u00fcber 30 Experimente f\u00fcr europ\u00e4ische, US-amerikanische und Japanische Wissenschaftler durchzuf\u00fchren. Dar\u00fcber hinaus beteiligt er sich am Andockman\u00f6ver zweier unbemannter Frachtschiffe. Das zweite europ\u00e4ische ATV (automatische Versorgungsfahrzeug), die Johannes Kepler, sowie die zweite japanische HTV-F\u00e4hre werden f\u00fcr Februar 2011 mit Nachschub f\u00fcr die ISS erwartet.<\/p>\n

The MagISStra mission is Europe\u2019s third long-duration mission to the ISS. (The name MagISStra, combines the ISS with the Latin word \u2018magistra\u2019 – a female teacher.) As the name suggests, education is an important part of Paolo\u2019s activities. There will be two main projects. The \u2018Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut\u2019 programme is built around health, well-being and nutrition. \u2018Greenhouse in Space\u2019 involves growing plants on the ISS while schoolchildren experiment with a similar greenhouse and the same type of plant on the ground.<\/p>\n

Paolo will also use a special camera to make 3-D films of life on board the ISS. Some of these will be posted at twitter.com\/astro_paolo<\/a> and on ESA\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
