It is anticipated that in the International Space Station, crew laptop computers will provide the operational interfaces between crew and payloads and between crew and ground-based experts for on-line team work. The crew laptop will be used for operation of payloads: for payload data collection and commanding and for crew activity support. Support of crew activities is implemented by using a dataset for each payload, containing virtual control planels, crew procedures and multimedia reference material. Interlinking of these datasets allows easy access to the informtion at all times. Already several prototypes of crew support systems have been implemented and evaluated, of which the Advanced Crew Terminal (ACT) is the most recent. The ACT study has validated the feasibility of a low-cost approach to on board crew terminals and associated ground terminals, based on commercial available laptop computers and software. The study demonstrated a generic 'ACT Product Framework' providing basic services and allowing adaptation to experiment needs.
