A couple of weeks ago, we have found out, that astronauts would like to visit space as soon, as problems with shaking of Space shuttle will be solved. Today we have good news concerning this kind of business, too.European's technicians achieved a success with installing new Columbus laboratory module on Tuesday. This day also two European astronauts nipped in the module, which was designed to be part of International Space Station. It was constructed in more European towns and states including Turin, Rome, Germany. Then it was sent in Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Creating the biggest single contribution to the ISS is considered to be a huge success of their authors from European Space Agency. It is 7 meter long and includes biolab, fluid science laboratory and other parts which were made for possibility to make physics, medical and pharmaceutical experiments."We are very proud. It starts a new era. The European scientific module Columbus and the ISS are connected for a many, many years of research in space cooperation, internationally," said Hans Schlegel, German astronaut.Europe had to wait for more than 5 years for Columbus module to reach orbit, because of problems in Russia and United States, which were mainly based on finance situation in Russia. But now, the module finally reached the orbit, and also a second space walk is planned.Europe believes that its orbital outpost will bring only positives in a form of researches, thanks to which they could benefit in more industries.
