Jo yli 30 vuoden ajan eurooppalaiset ovat saaneet nauttia avaruusmatkailun ihmeist\u00e4. Aikaisimpia edell\u00e4k\u00e4vij\u00f6it\u00e4 olivat Vladimir Remek (T\u0161ekkoslovakia), Miroslav Hermaszewski (Puola) ja Sigmund J\u00e4hn (It\u00e4-Saksa). He kaikki tekiv\u00e4t viikon mittaisia vierailuja Neuvostoliiton Saljut 6 -avaruusasemalle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vuodesta 1978 l\u00e4htien on toteutettu 52 avaruuslentoa, joihin on osallistunut 33 astronauttia ESA:n j\u00e4senmaista. Ensimm\u00e4iset kolme valittua ESA:n astronauttia olivat Ulf Merbold (Saksa), Wubbo Ockels (Alankomaat) ja Claude Nicollier (Sveitsi).<\/p>\n

Merbold oli ensimm\u00e4inen, joka lensi avaruuteen vuonna 1983. H\u00e4n osallistui STS-9-sukkulalentoon, joka oli ESA:n Spacelabin ensilento. Ockels lensi sukkulalla kaksi vuotta my\u00f6hemmin. Claude Nicollier joutui odottamaan ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 lentoaan 14 vuotta (STS-46 vuonna 1992), mutta lopulta h\u00e4n teki nelj\u00e4 avaruusmatkaa \u2013 enemm\u00e4n kuin kukaan muu ESA:n astronautti.<\/p>\n

ESAn astronauttijoukko perustettiin vuonna 1998. Nyky\u00e4\u00e4n ESAn astronautteja on 14 \u2013 nelj\u00e4 Italiasta, kolme Ranskasta, kaksi Saksasta, yksi Ruotsista, yksi Belgiasta, yksi Alankomaista, yksi Tanskasta ja yksi Yhdistyneest\u00e4 kuningaskunnasta. Heist\u00e4 kuusi valittiin vuonna 2009.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
