Columbus module heads to the space station
2008-02-09 11:16:00 Europe?s Columbus laboratory has been successfully launched into space towards its eventual home on the International Space Station (ISS). The 10-tonne Columbus module took off on board the space shuttle Atlantis as it lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida at about 14:50 EST (19:50 GMT) today. American and European astronauts will spend the next 11 days connecting the module to the space station, in what will be the single largest contribution by the European Space Agency (ESA) to this international effort. Columbus is a 4.5?metre?wide cylindrical space capsule that has room for 14 separate science experiments. The lab will primarily study how reduced gravity affects a range of medical and physical phenomena. ?I think it is very important for Europe to have a permanent laboratory up there,? says Martin Zell, ESA?s head of research operations in human spaceflight, microgravity and exploration. The ?700 m laboratory is a user facility, containing 10 te...

International Space Station Columbus Module Launched.
2008-02-08 18:31:00 The much maligned International Space Station keeps moving forward oblivious to its critics. Yesterday the Shuttle Atlantis blasted off with the Columbus Module aboard. The Columbus module is another science module with the ability to hold 10 racks of scientific experiments. It is growing and finally becoming a significant platform in space. I understand the critics that deride its lack of strategic space location. Its in-between-ness that doesn't help us much to get anywhere else in the solar system. I understand the critics that bring up the ROI on a manned space station and compare it to one of our probe missions like the Mars Rovers. I understand all that. But I believe it provides other benefits: It teaches us how to construct complicated things in space. What we are learning from the ISS will be crucial for ANY construction we do in space and if you think there won't be much call for that...well I disagree with you. This has been don...
