Seit mehr als 30 Jahren genie\u00dfen die Europ\u00e4er nun die Wunder der bemannten Raumfahrt. Die ersten Pioniere im All waren Vladimir Remek (Tschechoslowakei), Miroslav Hermaszewski (Polen) und Sigmund J\u00e4hn (aus der damaligen DDR). Sie alle flogen zu wochenlangen Besuchen auf der sowjetischen Raumstation Saljut 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seit 1978 haben 52 Missionen mit insgesamt 33 Astronauten aus ESA-Mitgliedsstaaten stattgefunden. Die ersten auserw\u00e4hlten ESA-Raumfahrer waren Ulf Merbold (Deutschland), Wubbo Ockels (Niederlande) und Claude Nicollier (Schweiz).<\/p>\n

Merbold war 1983 der erste, der ins All flog. Er nahm an der Shuttle-Mission STS-9 teil, dem ersten Flug des Spacelab der ESA. Ockels flog zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter mit dem Shuttle. Claude Nicollier musste 14 Jahre auf seinen ersten Flug warten (STS-46 im Jahr 1992), absolvierte aber schlie\u00dflich vier Weltraumfl\u00fcge \u2013 mehr als jeder andere ESA-Astronaut.<\/p>\n

Das ESA-Astronautenkorps wurde 1998 gegr\u00fcndet. Heute gibt es 14 ESA-Astronauten \u2013 vier aus Italien, drei aus Frankreich, zwei aus Deutschland, einen aus Schweden, einen aus Belgien, einen aus den Niederlanden, einen aus D\u00e4nemark und einen aus dem Vereinigten K\u00f6nigreich. Sechs von ihnen wurden 2009 ausgew\u00e4hlt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
