The activities relating to the prototype development of a Computerized Payload Operations Support System (COMPASS) for the Columbus Space Station are described. The differences between Spacelab and Columbus space segments experimentation capabilities and payload operations are outlined and the steps of the requirements analysis for setting up a payload diagnosis, integration/reconfiguration support, and reactive science support are described. The BLUME/BIOMAUS facility turned out to be the best COMPASS test candidate. Blume is a biology payload designed to fly as part of the NASA Get Away Special program. Software technologies and the architectural concept for COMPASS are shown. The COMPASS prototype was installed in the environment of the ESTEC crew workstation testbed and can be demonstrated there.
