Om allt g\u00e5r enligt planerna kommer ESA:s lilla b\u00e4rraket Vega att skjutas upp f\u00f6r f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen den 13 februari fr\u00e5n den nya uppskjutningsplatsen vid Europas rymdhamn i Franska Guyana. Den kommer att f\u00f6ra upp nio olika satelliter i omloppsbana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Utvecklingen av b\u00e4rraketen Vega, som genomf\u00f6rts av ESA och dess samarbetspartner, har tagit nio \u00e5r. Vega, som har f\u00e5tt sitt namn efter den n\u00e4st starkast lysande stj\u00e4rnan p\u00e5 norra halvklotet, \u00e4r en liten b\u00e4rraket som \u00e4r konstruerad f\u00f6r att s\u00e4tta upp satelliter som v\u00e4ger mellan 300 och 2 000 kg i pol\u00e4ra banor och l\u00e5ga jordbanor, i syfte att genomf\u00f6ra ett stort antal vetenskapliga uppdrag och jordobservationsuppdrag. Vega \u00e4r 30 meter h\u00f6g, har en diameter p\u00e5 3 meter och v\u00e4ger totalt 137 ton!<\/p>\n

Till skillnad fr\u00e5n de flesta sm\u00e5 b\u00e4rraketer kan Vega s\u00e4tta mer \u00e4n en satellit i omloppsbana. Under just denna flygning, som g\u00e5r under namnet VV01, kommer Vega att transportera en laserrelativitetssatellit vid namn LARES, en mikrosatellit f\u00f6r teknikdemonstration vid namn ALMASat-1 samt sju sm\u00e5 satelliter som kallas CubeSats. Dessa satelliter har en maximal massa p\u00e5 1 kg och har utvecklats av mer \u00e4n 250 universitetsstudenter fr\u00e5n sex olika l\u00e4nder under de senaste fyra \u00e5ren. CubeSats kan styras fr\u00e5n universitets- eller radioamat\u00f6rstationer p\u00e5 marken och ger studenter inom rymdteknik utm\u00e4rkt praktisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med satelliter.<\/p>\n

Vega-raketen \u00e4r nu helt monterad p\u00e5 sin startplatta i Kourou. De sista f\u00f6rberedelserna inf\u00f6r raketens allra f\u00f6rsta uppskjutning fr\u00e5n Europas rymdhamn p\u00e5g\u00e5r f\u00f6r fullt. N\u00e4sta steg som \u00e5terst\u00e5r \u00e4r den slutliga kontrollen av den monterade raketen, en fullst\u00e4ndig repetition av nedr\u00e4kningen inf\u00f6r uppskjutningen samt tankning. N\u00e4r dessa steg \u00e4r avslutade \u00e4r Vega redo f\u00f6r uppskjutning!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
