ESA-astronauten Alexander Gerst f\u00f6rbereder sig f\u00f6r sitt uppdrag till den internationella rymdstationen! Uppskjutningen \u00e4r planerad till den 6 juni, och Alexander kommer att resa ut i rymden i en Sojuz-kapsel tillsammans med sina kollegor, den ryske kosmonauten Sergej Prokopjev och den amerikanska astronauten Serena Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor. Han kommer att tillbringa sex m\u00e5nader ombord p\u00e5 stationen och genomf\u00f6ra m\u00e5nga sp\u00e4nnande forskningsexperiment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Alexander \u00e4r en erfaren astronaut som tidigare har varit i rymden. Fr\u00e5n maj till november 2014 befann han sig ombord p\u00e5 den internationella rymdstationen inom ramen f\u00f6r Blue Dot-uppdraget. Sedan han \u00e5terv\u00e4nde har han tr\u00e4nat inf\u00f6r sitt n\u00e4sta \u00e4ventyr.<\/p>\n

\"Horizons
Horizons-logotypen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hans nya uppdrag heter Horizons och har en speciell logotyp med olika symboler som representerar Alexanders andra rymdresa. Logotypen f\u00f6rest\u00e4ller ett m\u00e4nskligt ansikte som blickar upp\u00e5t, en tunn bl\u00e5 linje som symboliserar jordens atmosf\u00e4r och den internationella rymdstationens bana runt jorden! Alexander ser fram emot att \u00e5terv\u00e4nda till rymden. Han s\u00e4ger: \u201cJag kan knappt v\u00e4nta p\u00e5 att f\u00e5 se rymdstationen igen, som blev mitt andra hem 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under Horizons-uppdraget kommer Alexander att utnyttja de tyngdl\u00f6sa f\u00f6rh\u00e5llandena ombord p\u00e5 stationen f\u00f6r att unders\u00f6ka m\u00e4nniskokroppen, biologi och str\u00e5lning samt testa ny teknik. Detta kommer att hj\u00e4lpa oss att b\u00e4ttre f\u00f6rst\u00e5 v\u00e5r hemplanet och det universum d\u00e4r vi alla lever. Som Alexander sj\u00e4lv f\u00f6rklarar: \u201cSett p\u00e5 avst\u00e5nd \u00e4r v\u00e5r planet bara en bl\u00e5 prick, ett sk\u00f6rt rymdskepp f\u00f6r m\u00e4nskligheten. Vi m\u00e5ste f\u00f6rst\u00e5 universum vi lever i f\u00f6r att kunna skydda v\u00e5rt hem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under sin vistelse ombord p\u00e5 stationen kommer Alexander \u00e4ven att ha ansvaret f\u00f6r att se till att de \u00f6vriga bes\u00e4ttningsmedlemmarna trivs och arbetar effektivt, att kontrollera att allt \u00e4r s\u00e4kert samt att f\u00f6lja de instruktioner som ges av flygledaren vid kontrollcentret p\u00e5 jorden. Horizons kommer att bli ett utmanande uppdrag, men ett som Alexander \u00e4r v\u00e4l f\u00f6rberedd f\u00f6r.<\/p>\n

Rolig fakta:<\/b> Fr\u00e5n och med september kommer Alexander att vara bef\u00e4lhavare p\u00e5 den internationella rymdstationen \u2013 det \u00e4r bara andra g\u00e5ngen som en europeisk astronaut har haft den rollen!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
