The arrival of Columbus marked a notable shift in European research potential with the variety of research facilities in Columbus providing the means to undertake longer-term European research activities on the Station and also providing Europe with its full quota of research rights on the ISS. This research potential has been further increased over the past few years with the increase to a six-member crew.

    Space station on to the 2nd decade 29 October 2010 They blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Oct. 31, 2000, and docked with the station two days later. From the moment the hatch of their Soyuz spacecraft opened and they entered the fledgling space station, there have been people living and working in orbit, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. "As we look forward to the next 10 years, taking us through 2020, the space station will serve many roles," said Mike Suffredini, International Space Station program manager since 2005. "With its permanent human presence, it will serve as a foothold for long-term exploration into space, being an integral part of testing human endurance, equipment reliability and processes essential for space exploration." Before his launch, Expedition 1 commander NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson, Expedition 24 Shepherd explained that the station "gives us flight engineer, replaces a dewar tray containing unique access to the space environment where we biological samples in the Minus Eighty Degree hope we can do very interesting and productive Laboratory Freezer for ISS in the Kibo laboratory of the research, but it really means we [will] develop a lot International Space Station.
