Later dit jaar komt er een belangrijk Europees onderdeel bij: het Columbus ruimtelaboratorium. Zeven astronauten (twee van ESA en vijf van NASA) brengen deze wetenschappelijke module met een Space Shuttle naar het ruimtestation. Op 13 februari is het laatste bemanningslid van de STS-122 Space Shuttle missie bekendgemaakt: ESA-astronaut L\u00e9opold Eyharts uit Frankrijk. De andere ESA-astronaut is Hans Schlegel uit Duitsland. Hij werd al in juli vorig jaar benoemd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Het ESA-duo speelt een belangrijke rol bij het vastmaken van Columbus aan het ISS. Na veertien dagen keert Schlegel terug naar de aarde in de Space Shuttle. Eyharts blijft in het ruimtestation om Columbus verder aan te sluiten en te controleren. Hij is als boordingenieur de eerste astronaut die de systemen en wetenschappelijke apparatuur van het Columbus laboratorium in de ruimte test en bedient. Na ongeveer twee maanden keert Eyharts terug met een nieuwe Space Shuttle bemanning (STS-123).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"3500\" data-credit=\"ESA - S.
