  • Andreas Mogensen: Vi Skal Lære Af Rummet Du Lytter Til Den Yderste Grænse
    S2E2: Andreas Mogensen: Vi skal lære af rummet Du lytter til Den Yderste Grænse. Jeg hedder Bjørn Harvig. Jeg har været formand for Eventyrernes Klub. I denne sæson møder jeg ti nulevende danskere, der har rejst ud i verden og på hver deres måde rykket ved vores opfattelse af tilværelsen. Jeg taler med en pilot, en krigskorrespondent, en pelsjæger, en vagabond, en naturfotograf, en ek- speditionsleder, en kunstner, en bjergbestiger, en hesterytter og en astronaut. Du svæver vægtløst rundt på den internationale rumstation og ser jorden fra 400 kilo- meters afstand. Det er ikke ret mange danskere, der kan prale af - faktisk ingen ud over dig, Andreas Mogensen. Velkommen til. Ja tak. Du er uddannet ingeniør og astronaut og første - ja og indtil videre eneste - dansker, der har været i rummet. Man kan vel på en eller anden måde kalde rumrejserne for de ulti- mative opdagelsesrejser. I dag vil du fortælle, hvad der skete fra du hørte motoren tæn- de i rumraketten på den kasakhstanske steppe, indtil du igen satte fødderne på jorden. Andreas, du synes, at disse rejser er vigtige, fordi du mener, at de bidrager med viden og erfaring til den bevægelse, der udforsker rummet. Fortæl, hvordan det var at sidde derude og kigge ned på Jorden fra rummet. Det er jo en af de allermest specielle oplevelser, man har, når man er i rummet. Det er netop at sidde og kigge ned på Jorden. Altså, rumstationen kredser med en hastighed på 28.000 kilometer i timen eller sådan noget, hvilket betyder, at det tager kun rumstati- onen halvanden time at flyve én gang hele vejen rundt om Jorden.

  • First Dane in Space Arrives at ISS 4 September 2015
    First Dane in space arrives at ISS 4 September 2015 The first Dane in space arrived on Friday at the to the ISS after NASA ended its space shuttle International Space Station (ISS) as part of a three- programme in 2011 and turned to private firms to man team after an unusually long voyage from fly supply missions there. Earth, the Russian space agency said. © 2015 AFP Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, accompanied by Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov and Aidyn Aimbetov from Kazakhstan, had taken 26 custom-made figurines from Danish toymaker Lego on the ride to the station. The trio blasted off aboard a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome on Wednesday but the trip lasted two days instead of the usual fast-track six hours after the ISS raised its orbit to avoid space debris. They joined six astronauts already in space, bringing the total number of people on the ISS to nine, for the first time since 2013, according to the European Space Agency. Volkov is expected to remain in orbit until March 2016, along with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and US astronaut Scott Kelly who are already aboard the ISS. Accompanied by veteran Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, first-time flyers Aimbetov and Mogensen will return to Earth next week after 10 days on the station. Aimbetov, who replaced British singer Sarah Brightman after she pulled out of the mission in June, is the third astronaut from Kazakhstan, which hosts Russia's cosmodrome. The trio led by Padalka, who has been in orbit since June, are set to leave the orbiting space station on September 12.
