Timeline

 

CARDIOLAB is a french-german national contribution to the European Physiological Module (EPM) Facility onboard COLUMBUS developed by ESA.
 

Cardiolab is dedicated to the study of the humain cardiovascular system and its evolution in microgravity environment and is available to scientists of all the nationalities participating in the International Space Station (ISS) program.
Cardiolab is integrated into EPM rack to be launched within COLUMBUS Module.

CNES is in charge of:

    the overall management of the project,
    the system studies,
    the assembly integration and tests,
    the Data Management System (HW-SW) development,
    some sensors development.

DLR is in charge of overscientific coordination sensors and stressors development.

Moreover, CNES through its CADMOS center is responsible for the EPM module exploitation, and thus Cardiolab exploitation too.
