Scientific paper
European participation in the NASA Space Station program is discussed with an emphasis on ongoing efforts to facilitate, through ESA, its use as laboratory, observatory, transportation node, repair facility for other spacecraft, and manufacturing and assembly facility. Consideration is given to the manned and unmanned elements of the current architecture concept, the identification of potential users and their needs, possible conflicts and overlaps between different user communities, and the processes involved in advancing from model missions to actual design requirements. Diagrams, drawings, photographs, and tables listing the European model missions in material science, life sciences, astronomy and solar-system science, earth observation, communications, and technology development are provided.
