Cut-away artwork of the Columbus Orbital Facility
Columbus module. Cut-away artwork showing the interior of the Columbus Orbital Facility (COF) or Attached Pressurised Module whilst attached to the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts can be seen working within the COF, which is part of the European Space Agencys contribution to the ISS. The ISS is being funded mainly by the USA and Russia. The ISS will be used to study the effects of minute levels of gravity (microgravity) on materials and biological tissue. The COF is planned to be installed in the final phase of the ISSs construction in September 2001. The ISS should commence operation with a crew of six in June 2002

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cut-away artwork of the Columbus Orbital Facility (COF), also known as the Attached Pressurised Module, while it is attached to the International Space Station (ISS). Within the COF, astronauts can be seen diligently working on various scientific experiments. As part of the European Space Agency's contribution to the ISS, this module plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of microgravity's impact on materials and biological tissue. The construction of this remarkable facility was funded primarily by both the United States and Russia, highlighting their joint commitment to space exploration. With its installation planned for September 2001 during the final phase of ISS construction, scientists eagerly anticipate commencing operations with a crew of six in June 2002. This awe-inspiring image not only represents mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge but also symbolizes international collaboration in pushing boundaries beyond Earth. The COF serves as a testament to humanity's desire to colonize and industrialize space for further advancements in science and technology. As we marvel at this intricate piece of art capturing an inside view of COF within ISS, let us appreciate how it embodies our collective aspirations for progress and discovery. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this momentous endeavor that will undoubtedly shape our future endeavors beyond our home planet.
