El m\u00f3dulo Harmony ha llegado a la Estaci\u00f3n Espacial Internacional (ISS). El 26 de octubre, los astronautas Scott Parazynski y Douglas Wheelock realizaron un paseo espacial en el exterior de la ISS para preparar el m\u00f3dulo de construcci\u00f3n italiana \u2013tambi\u00e9n conocido como Node 2\u2013, para su acoplamiento a la estaci\u00f3n. En este momento entr\u00f3 en acci\u00f3n el brazo rob\u00f3tico del Discovery, para elevar suavemente el m\u00f3dulo de 14 toneladas de la zona de carga del transbordador. Bajo la supervisi\u00f3n del astronauta Roberto Nespoli de la ESA, el Harmony se bloque\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente en una posici\u00f3n provisional al lado izquierdo del m\u00f3dulo Unity (Node 1).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Al d\u00eda siguiente, Nespoli y la comandante de la ISS, Peggy Whitson, se convirtieron en los primeros miembros de la tripulaci\u00f3n en acceder al nuevo pasadizo de la estaci\u00f3n. Portando gafas y m\u00e1scaras para protegerse de objetos flotantes, los astronautas empezaron a retirar los m\u00e1s de 700 pernos instalados para el lanzamiento. \u201cEs un placer hallarme aqu\u00ed en este hermoso equipo\u201d, coment\u00f3 Nespoli, durante una breve ceremonia celebrada para destacar la ocasi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de haber realizado varios experimentos y de haber colaborado en otros tres paseos espaciales, Nespoli y otros seis miembros de la tripulaci\u00f3n regresaron a la Tierra el 7 de noviembre tras pasar 15 d\u00edas en el espacio. Ahora que el Discovery ya ha regresado, los miembros de la Expedici\u00f3n 16 de la ISS pueden fijar un muelle de acoplamiento al Harmony y desplazarlo a su posici\u00f3n definitiva en el extremo delantero de la estaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El m\u00f3dulo Harmony es la primera incorporaci\u00f3n europea permanente que se realiza a la ISS. El segundo de los tres nodos o m\u00f3dulos de conexi\u00f3n pronto ser\u00e1 un punto de acoplamiento en el laboratorio Columbus de la ESA y el laboratorio Kibo de Jap\u00f3n.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
