Background – What is Bartolomeo ?
On the international Space Station (ISS) scientific experiments are run every day to support science and applications on Earth for our daily life. However, accessing the ISS is still very expensive and complicated for small companies. For this reason, the Airbus Defense and Space ideated the Bartolomeo program.
The platform is attached to the European Columbus Module on the ISS, representing a new and unique payload hosting opportunity: Operated aboard the ISS in low-Earth-orbit (altitude: ~400 km), the Bartolomeo platform offers the ISS’ only unobstructed view on both, planet Earth and outer space. Through Bartolomeo, Airbus offers an All-in-One mission service, which comprises all required mission elements into one commercial contract: Mission preparation, payload launch, payload on-orbit installation, commissioning, operation, payload data processing and delivery.
