Scenarios and constraints for experiments using the Columbus MTFF are outlined. Robotization and automation aspects are discussed. Experimentation on MTFF is comparable to a combination of EURECA (automated mode) and Spacelab (manned activities). Utilization of a full integrated MTFF depends on the transport capacity of Hermes. It is argued that the present Hermes design excludes an optimal use of the MTFF since the transport of consumable/samples from running experiments prevents Hermes accommodating new facilities. The baseline MTFF mission consists of payloads for metallurgy, crystallization, and biology investigations.
