Bibliography See G. E. Condon, Yesterday's Columbus (1977). Columbus (kŏ-lum -bŭs) 1. A space program featuring a science module built by the European Space Agency (ESA) and incorporated into the International Space Station (ISS). The 4.5-meter pressurized cylindrical module is ESA's biggest single contribution to the ISS and is intended for use by Earth-based researchers working through the Columbus Control Center in Germany, with occasional assistance from the ISS crew. Permanently docked with the ISS, the Columbus module shares its basic structure and life-support systems with the Italian Space Agency's Multipurpose Logistics Modules. Its 75-cubic-meter interior is large enough to house a suite of scientific laboratories, allowing experiments to be carried out in microgravity across a range of scientific disciplines, including fluid physics, the biological sciences, and materials science. Four mounting points outside the pressurized hull of the Columbus module make provision for science packages that need to be exposed to the vacuum of space. Such packages may include investigations into the ability of bacteria to survive on the surface of an artificial meteorite or observations of volcanic activity on the Earth. 2. A telescope project involving two 8-meter telescopes on a single mount, planned by the University of Arizona and Ohio State University, with Italy as a partner. It was renamed the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in 1993 and was scheduled to begin operations in 2005.
