A payload operations simulation exercise was carried out in the frame of the ESA rider study on Robotics Spacecraft Servicing and Assembly (ROSSA), aimed at analyzing the perspective scenarios and relevance for internal automation and robotics support to the Columbus Attached Laboratory payload mission. Detailed flight operations sequences were generated and analyzed for a set of pressurized payload elements. The preliminary results show that many opportunities for supporting crew activities with internal automation and robotics exist, but internal automation and robotics for some tasks may not be trivial. Additional requirement reviews and preparation activities will lead to the identification of promising concepts to be further investigated in the frame of automation and robotics ground testbed activities.
