ESA’s combined team of specialist communicators (Eurocoms) and biomedical engineers (BMEs) are responsible for all European voice communications with astronauts on board the International Space Station. From the control centre at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) they work closely with operations teams at ESA’s Columbus Control Centre (Col-CC) in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich, Germany.
Eurocoms/BMEs also plan and implement the medical activities of ESA astronauts onboard the International Space Station, monitor crew health and review ESA’s planned Space Station activities from the perspective of the crew.
This photo of a Eurocom at work was taken inside the console room at EAC in 2018.
