- Abstract
The years 2006 and 2007 are extremely productive for the ESA ISS utilisation programme. Apart from the almost six month Astrolab mission with Thomas Reiter and the flight of Christer Fuglesang in December 2006, experiments were carried out on all increments in this period, and with the participation of not only Russian crewmembers, but also of the visiting crewmembers. At the moment of writing further experiments are planned for increment 15, the Soyuz 14S stage and the flight of Paolo Nespoli on the 10A STS flight. According to the current planning, (first) results of these flights will be available at the time of the IAC. The presentation will cover these results. with special emphasis on data collection on physiological research requiring many increments, as well as the results of recently launched ESA facilities like EMCS and PFS. Finally, an outlook will be given on further planned experiments on future increments, Soyuz and Shuttle stages.
