ESA launches a new “Space for Health” website
 
If you are an organisation or health institute working on health applications, you are often deluged by large amounts of information, but have difficulty homing in on what you need.

Columbus: The European laboratory in Earth orbit
Opportunity also for industry-driven experiments in space

 
The Columbus laboratory will be launched in early February 2008 and is the cornerstone of ESA's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS). It is the first European laboratory dedicated to long-term research in space. Columbus will give an enormous boost to the research under space conditions and will significantly enhance the research capabilities of the ISS, for the benefit of European scientists and industry.
