Accommodation for ESA payloads on the main truss structure of the space station was studied. It is concluded that the truss structure is suitable for the accommodation of attached payloads. European opportunity is very sensitive to American decisions and other user nation competition. Payload grouping on dedicated ESA carriers is the best way for an optimum usage of attachment points. The most promising attachment location on the truss structure is on the upper beam. The mission baseline schedule is too long due to European constraints. Items of flight and in-orbit resources demand the biggest funding effort (44 percent and 28 percent respectively). Man tended free flyers are suitable for small payloads.
