Europas engagemang inom bemannade rymdf\u00e4rder inleddes 1969. Efter att Neil Armstrong och Buzz Aldrin blivit de f\u00f6rsta m\u00e4nniskorna att s\u00e4tta foten p\u00e5 m\u00e5nen b\u00f6rjade NASA fundera p\u00e5 att bygga en \u00e5teranv\u00e4ndbar rymdf\u00e4rja.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

De europeiska l\u00e4nderna beslutade att utveckla ett vetenskapslaboratorium, k\u00e4nt som Spacelab, som skulle f\u00e5 plats i rymdf\u00e4rjans lastrum. I utbyte mot detta fick de m\u00f6jlighet att skicka med astronauter p\u00e5 rymdf\u00e4rjans uppdrag.<\/p>\n

Sedan Ulf Merbolds rymdf\u00e4rd med Spacelab-1 \u00e5r 1983 har europeiska astronauter flugit 30 g\u00e5nger med den amerikanska rymdf\u00e4rjan. Vid m\u00e5nga av de tidiga flygningarna anv\u00e4ndes ESA:s Spacelab f\u00f6r experiment i mikrogravitation. Vid andra tillf\u00e4llen deltog de i uppdrag f\u00f6r att utf\u00f6ra underh\u00e5llsarbete p\u00e5 NASA:s och ESA:s rymdteleskop Hubble eller genomf\u00f6ra unika vetenskapliga aktiviteter.<\/p>\n

Vid 21 rymdf\u00e4rder har europeiska astronauter flugit med sovjetiska eller ryska rymdfarkoster. Bes\u00f6ken p\u00e5 rymdstationerna Saljut och Mir (1978\u20131999) gav v\u00e4rdefull erfarenhet av hur man lever i rymden under l\u00e5nga perioder. Thomas Reiter tillbringade n\u00e4stan sex m\u00e5nader p\u00e5 Mir och blev d\u00e4rmed den f\u00f6rsta ESA-astronauten som deltog i en rymdpromenad.<\/p>\n

Under de senaste \u00e5ren har ESA-astronauter regelbundet bes\u00f6kt den internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Det har genomf\u00f6rts tv\u00e5 l\u00e5ngvariga uppdrag med europeiska astronauter p\u00e5 stationen. \u00c5r 2008 tillbringade fransmannen L\u00e9opold Eyharts n\u00e4stan 49 dagar i rymden p\u00e5 ett uppdrag f\u00f6r att docka och ta ESA:s Columbus-laboratorium i drift. \u00c5r 2009 tillbringade belgaren Frank De Winne sex m\u00e5nader p\u00e5 stationen och blev den f\u00f6rsta ESA-astronauten att leda ISS.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
