Final work on the Bartolomeo external platform
Final work on the Bartolomeo external platform
ESA German astronaut Matthias Maurer will, among other things, make the commercial external platform Bartolomeo on the European Columbus module practically ready for operation by installing the last missing power and data cable, thus fully connecting the platform to the ISS. The project, which was developed in Germany, will drive the commercialisation of the space station, because as Europe's first private external platform on the ISS, Bartolomeo offers companies and research institutions the unique opportunity to advance their project more easily and quickly in space.
