Il y a 23 ans, Ulf Merbold devenait le premier astronaute de l'ESA \u00e0 partir dans l'espace. Depuis, de nombreux astronautes de l'ESA ont pris le pas sur Merbold. Aujourd'hui, apr\u00e8s 14 ann\u00e9es d'attente, c'est le tour de Christer Fuglesang, le premier Su\u00e9dois \u00e0 aller sur orbite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La mission STS-116 a d\u00e9coll\u00e9 de Cape Canaveral, en Floride, le 9 d\u00e9cembre (heure locale), transportant \u00e0 son bord Fuglesang et six coll\u00e8gues de la NASA. Apr\u00e8s deux jours de vol, Discovery s'est arrim\u00e9 \u00e0 la Station spatiale internationale. Les astronautes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 chaudement accueillis par les trois membres de l'\u00e9quipage de la Station, dont l'astronaute de l'ESA, Thomas Reiter.<\/p>\n

L'objectif de cette visite est de poursuivre la construction de cette \u00e9norme et complexe Station. Fuglesang jouera un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 en participant \u00e0 deux des trois sorties dans l'espace pr\u00e9vue pour cette mission. Le 12 d\u00e9cembre, il quittera la Station en compagnie de Robert Curbeam pour une sortie de 6 heures afin d'installer un nouvel \u00e9l\u00e9ment \u00e0 la structure en treillis de l'ISS. A terme, cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment abritera 4 panneaux solaires qui devraient \u00eatre install\u00e9s l'\u00e9t\u00e9 prochain.<\/p>\n

Les deux hommes effectueront une deuxi\u00e8me sortie de 6 heures le 14 d\u00e9cembre. Cette fois, leur sortie permettra d'augmenter l'alimentation de la Station en branchant un nouveau jeu de panneaux solaires et des radiateurs. Ces \u00e9normes \u00e9l\u00e9ments avaient d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 livr\u00e9s en septembre dernier par une autre navette.<\/p>\n

Au cours de sa mission \u201c Celsius \u201d de 12 jours \u2013 qui tire son nom d\u2019un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre scientifique su\u00e9dois \u2013, Fuglesang m\u00e8nera \u00e9galement une s\u00e9rie d\u2019exp\u00e9riences scientifiques. Et l\u2019ancien champion de frisbee esp\u00e8re profiter de l\u2019apesanteur pour battre le record de dur\u00e9e de vol d\u2019un frisbee.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
