European payload candidates which can be beneficially supported by a manned space station (MSS) are identified. The required operational station support is assessed. Alternative approaches if no manned space station is available are discussed and the impact identified. The MSS is needed in life sciences, space technology, and materials science. The MSS needs to be completed by free flying platforms for automatic material processes, space sciences, and Earth observations. The majority of identified payload candidates are for basic research. Commercial payloads are only identified in telecommunications. Identification of commercial materials processing payloads depends on the results from Spacelab.
