Dix ans apr\u00e8s le vol du premier \u00e9quipage vers l'ISS, la plus r\u00e9cente mission est d\u00e9coll\u00e9e depuis le cosmodrome de Baikonur. L'astronaute de l'ESA Paolo Nespoli, le russe Dmitri Kondratyev et l'astronaute de la NASA Catherine Coleman sont partis vers la ISS \u00e0 bord du Soyouz TMA-20. Leur trajet vers la Station comprendra 35 orbites autour de la Terre et le moteur du Soyouz fournira trois pouss\u00e9es importantes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pendant sa mission de 6 mois, Paolo assumera la fonction d'ing\u00e9nieur de bord pour les exp\u00e9ditions 26 et 27. En plus de ses t\u00e2ches d'ing\u00e9nieur, Paolo ex\u00e9cutera plus de 30 exp\u00e9riences pour les agences spatiales des Etats-Unis, du Japon et du Canada. Il s'occupera aussi de deux amarrages: celui du deuxi\u00e8me ATV europ\u00e9en, Johannes Kepler, ainsi que du second HTV japonais, qui refourniront l'ISS au mois de f\u00e9vrier 2011.<\/p>\n

The MagISStra mission is Europe\u2019s third long-duration mission to the ISS. (The name MagISStra, combines the ISS with the Latin word \u2018magistra\u2019 – a female teacher.) As the name suggests, education is an important part of Paolo\u2019s activities. There will be two main projects. The \u2018Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut\u2019 programme is built around health, well-being and nutrition. \u2018Greenhouse in Space\u2019 involves growing plants on the ISS while schoolchildren experiment with a similar greenhouse and the same type of plant on the ground.<\/p>\n

Paolo will also use a special camera to make 3-D films of life on board the ISS. Some of these will be posted at twitter.com\/astro_paolo<\/a> and on ESA\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
