Footage of Biolab development. Biolab is a scientific rack designed to go in the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory on the International Space Station. The rack has been developed and built by Astrium in Germany for ESA and will be flown to the ISS inside the Columbus Laboratory currently schedule for late 2004.
The Biolab facility is the laboratory designed to support biological experiments on micro-organisms, cells, tissue cultures, small plants and small invertebrates. The major objective of performing Life Sciences experiments in space is to identify the role that microgravity plays at all levels of an organism, from the effects on a single cell up to a complex organism including humans.
