AbstractThe Italian Soyuz Mission, named ENEIDE, was performed from April 15th till the 25th, 2005. The mission was sponsored by a pool of Italian sponsors and was based on the ESA astronaut of Italian nationality, Roberto Vittori, to achieve a higher qualification level for the European astronaut corps and to perform an extensive on-board scientific and technological programme.The mission organisation, the integration process, the international cooperation, the ground segment and mission operation are outlined in this paper, highlighting the main challenges, achievements and implementation preparatory to Columbus missions integration and operations.Special attention was paid to the composition of the in-orbit activities programme, its preparation, the mission implementation reviews outcomes and the set up of the operational infrastructure hinged on the Columbus Control Centre (COL-CC) in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
