  7. STS 122 1E February 2008 After successful mating and leak check Col-CC • supported commanding of Columbus into Berthed Survival Mode • performed Columbus final activation • provided support to the on-board crew for Columbus and rack outfitting • started commissioning of system and payloads • supported activation of external payloads EuTEF and SOLAR ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all

  8. Col-CC started operations of the Columbus module in February 2008 and performs the following tasks: • Controls Columbus around the clock: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week • Performs communications to the on-board crew for activities performed in the Columbus module • Controls stowage in Columbus • Coordinates operations with Mission Control Centre Houston and Huntsville • Plans all activities performed in Columbus • Performs payload coordination with USOCs (User Support and Operations Centres) distributed throughout Europe • Col-CC is supported by engineering teams at Col-CC, Bremen and Turino and by ground system operations ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all

  9. Col-CC • controls the Columbus on-board systems to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the crew and to provide necessary support for the ESA and NASA payload facilities • This is achieved by monitoring and configuring, by remote command, the following subsystems: • Power System • Environmental Control and Life Support System • Air conditioning (oxygen) • Temperature control for cabin • Humidity regulation • Shell heaters • Thermal System • Water loop, water pump to cool equipment and racks • Data Management System • System to Payload interfaces • Col-CC performs preventive system maintenance • Supports repair and replacement of system components ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all

  10. Col-CCperforms Columbus system reconfiguration to support docking / undocking of visiting vehicles • ATV docking 3 Apr 08, undocking 5 Sep 08 • STS 122-128 except 125 • Activation of the Japanese modules • Soyuz docking • Progress docking • HTV ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all

  11. Upgrade of Columbus on-board software to the next revisions (Cycle 11 in 2008, Cycle 12 in Oct 2009) in close cooperation with the crew, engineering teams, and the other MCC • Supported repair of ESA payloads in Columbus • Supported payload operations and performed payload monitoring ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all

  12. One year of operations resulted in • 36500 commands to Columbus • 2.2 million lines of code • 213 CHITs • 41 integrated anomalies • 420 Columbus anomalies • Col-CC Stand-alone Simulations: 25 • European Simulations: 70 • Simulations with NASA: 50 ASE XXII Congress Space – Opportunities for all
