The $2 billion Columbus module, which adds 2,600 cubic feet of volume to the station and doubles its research ability, is the primary contribution to the project by the 17 countries of the European Space Agency. The module is to be operated by Europe from a new control center near Munich.
Gen. Léopold Eyharts of the French Air Force, who arrived on Saturday with the Atlantis and will stay aboard the station to activate the module, was exuberant as he announced its attachment.
“Houston and Munich, the European Columbus laboratory module is now part of the International Space Station,” General Eyharts said to applause at control centers on Earth.
