ESA astronaut Jean-François Clervoy's inspirational message to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Europe's space laboratory Columbus.
One space lab, five spacecraft, 10 years of success. A decade ago, the Columbus laboratory set sail for humanity’s new world of space.
Columbus houses as many disciplines as possible in a small volume, from astrobiology to solar science through metallurgy and psychology – more than 225 experiments have been carried out during this remarkable decade. Countless papers have been published drawing conclusions from experiments performed in Columbus.
