- Abstract
In early 2008 the Columbus Module was successfully attached to the ISS. Columbus is the main European contribution to the scientific activity on-board, and is the result of the interdisciplinary effort of European professionals involved from the concept to the utilisation of the laboratory. Astronauts from different Space Agencies have been trained to operate the Scientific Payloads on-board of Columbus, in order to return fundamental data to the scientific community. The aim of this paper is to describe the current activity of the Columbus Payload Training Team (as part of the European Astronaut Centre of ESA) and from this evidence derive lessons learned for the future training development, in view of long term missions. The Payload Training Team activity is outlined and the process of the lesson development (Instructional System Development) is briefly described. Finally the features of the training process that can become critical in future scenario are highlighted.
