AbstractThe Columbus programme includes Europe's contribution to the international Space Station. The status of the present activities is described in this paper. It includes a brief description of the candidate hardware elements - attached pressurised module, man-tended free-flyer, and polar platform. Also, an enhanced version of the baseline Eureca which is being considered as an Earth-based co-orbiter is described. Attendant programmatic data are discussed using Europe's long-term aim of eventual autonomy as a back-cloth.The role of the potential users of Space Station elements is stressed in the paper and plans for ensuring good use of the new capabilities available are presented.
