Locations of USOCs

Locations of the User Support and Operation Centres (USOCs) distributed throughout Europe. These centres are responsible for using and implementing European payloads on the International Space Station.

On behalf of Station users and under ESA management, USOCs prepare and operate facilities for experiments on board the Station. The USOCs act as the link between the user and the Space Station, and are the focal points for the preparation and operation of ESA payloads.
