Columbus

 2008-005

The ESA COF lab module was built by EADS/Bremen, formerly DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA) Space Infrastructure of Munchen, with an outer shell by Alenia/Torino based on the MPLM. It will be 6.7m long and 4.5m in diameter with a mass of 9500 kg empty. Columbus is named after Cristoforo Colon (1451-1506), the explorer. The full COF is 8m long 4.5m dia. Mass is 10230 kg (or 9900 kg) empty; it is launched with 2500 kg of payload, for a launch mass of 12077 kg (FRR; 12730 kg or 12250 kg, AWST Aug 06) with a further 7660 kg to be added on orbit.

The ETC (European Transport Carrier) ISPR-class rack is used for transport of payload items to orbit using CTBs (Cargo Transfer Bags) and as a workbench and stowage on orbit. It will eventually be replaced by another rack and be returned and reused aboard MPLM flights.

Early suggested CEPF payloads include: ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space); Solar (solar irradiance measurements on coarse pointing device); EXPOSE (life sciences exposure), SPORt (Sky Polarization Observatory, all sky polarization in 20-90GHz range), EuTEF (technology experiments)
