Ombord p\u00e5 Discovery fanns en bes\u00e4ttning p\u00e5 sju personer, d\u00e4ribland ESA-astronauten Paolo Nespoli fr\u00e5n Italien, som gjorde sin f\u00f6rsta rymdf\u00e4rd. Nespolis uppdrag har f\u00e5tt namnet Esperia, efter det antika grekiska namnet p\u00e5 den italienska halv\u00f6n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Huvudsyftet med den 14 dagar l\u00e5nga STS-120-uppdraget \u00e4r att leverera och installera den italiensktillverkade modulen Node 2, den f\u00f6rsta europeisktillverkade delen som permanent ska f\u00e4stas vid ISS. Den cylinderformade modulen (\u00e4ven kallad Harmony) \u00e4r dessutom den f\u00f6rsta utbyggnaden av stationens arbets- och bostadsutrymmen p\u00e5 sex \u00e5r. Harmony kommer att f\u00e4stas vid ISS den 26 oktober, under den f\u00f6rsta av fyra rymdpromenader. Nespolis uppgift blir att samordna rymdpromenaderna inifr\u00e5n rymdf\u00e4rjan och att genomf\u00f6ra ett program med medicinska och biologiska experiment.<\/p>\n<p>En andra huvuduppgift f\u00f6r astronauterna \u00e4r att flytta en av ISS:s fackverkssektioner och d\u00e4refter f\u00e4lla ut dess enorma solpaneler och kylare. N\u00e4r rymdf\u00e4rjan har p\u00e5b\u00f6rjat hemresan kommer stationens robotarm att anv\u00e4ndas f\u00f6r att flytta Harmony till sin slutliga placering \u2013 den fram\u00e5tv\u00e4nda anslutningen till det amerikanska laboratoriet Destiny.<\/p>\n<p>Under de kommande m\u00e5naderna kommer det europeiska Columbus-laboratoriet och det japanska Kibo-laboratoriet att kopplas fast permanent vid nod 2. Den trycksatta modulen kommer att fungera som en korridor f\u00f6r ISS-astronauterna och f\u00f6rse varje laboratorium med el och klimatkontroll. Den kommer ocks\u00e5 att fungera som en kortvarig dockningsplats f\u00f6r rymdf\u00e4rjan och Japans transportfarkost H-II.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"2014\" data-credit=\"NASA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2007\/10\/Space_Shuttle_Discovery_stands_on_the_launch_pad_ready_for_the_STS-120_mission2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2007\/10\/space_shuttle_discovery_stands_on_the_launch_pad_ready_for_the_sts-120_mission2\/17909234-2-eng-GB\/Space_Shuttle_Discovery_stands_on_the_launch_pad_ready_for_the_STS-120_mission.jpg\" alt=\"Space Shuttle Discovery stands on the launch pad ready for the STS-120 mission\"><figcaption>Rymdf\u00e4rjan Discovery st\u00e5r p\u00e5 startplattan, redo f\u00f6r uppdraget STS-120<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 23rd Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) successfully got under way on 23 October.
