The European Retrievable Carrier EURECA designed for payload elements and experiments in weightlessness in materials science and life sciences, in remote Earth observation, astrophysics, and in fundamental research is presented. The EURECA and Shuttle Pallet Satellite can be applied for a rendezvous mission demonstration and for docking tests without changes in weight, volume, and dimensions. The Navigation Experiment payload for investigation of atomic timing device behavior for on-board and ground clock synchronizing was delivered to the D1 integration team. The NASA mission experts' training and preparations are presented. Flight assessment shows high precision.
