M\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s del inicio de la Era Espacial, s\u00f3lo dos pa\u00edses han realizado alunizajes controlados, EE.UU. y Rusia. Esto cambiar\u00e1 pronto, ya que Europa y otras potencias espaciales se preparan para incorporarse a ese club tan exclusivo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La ESA trabaja en el desarrollo de la primera misi\u00f3n que visitar\u00e1 las espectaculares zonas monta\u00f1osas que rodean el polo sur de la Luna. Est\u00e1 previsto crear una nave espacial que podr\u00e1 posarse con precisi\u00f3n absoluta en un terreno sembrado de monta\u00f1as y cr\u00e1teres. Para llegar a la superficie de manera segura, el sat\u00e9lite deber\u00e1 ser capaz de descender desde la \u00f3rbita lunar a un pico monta\u00f1oso o a la cima de un cr\u00e1ter. Tambi\u00e9n deber\u00e1 maniobrar para sortear las grandes rocas y las pendientes pronunciadas antes de posarse suavemente en el polvo lunar.<\/p>\n

La Luna es el principal objetivo de las misiones tripuladas previstas en la \u201cEstrategia de Exploraci\u00f3n Global\u201d por 14 agencias espaciales de todo el mundo. Los polos lunares se consideran la clave de la futura exploraci\u00f3n humana de la Luna. Algunos puntos situados en la cima de los cr\u00e1teres reciben luz solar de forma casi continua, lo que permite generar electricidad. El hielo del fondo de cr\u00e1teres cercanos y situados en la sombra se puede utilizar para la producci\u00f3n de ox\u00edgeno y agua.<\/p>\n

A contract for in-depth design studies was signed by ESA and EADS-Astrium of Germany on 16 September 2010. Over the next 18 months, some of the key technologies for the lunar lander will be developed and tested for the first time. If all goes according to plan, Europe’s pathfinder will arrive safely at the Moon\u2019s south pole in 2018.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
