	Research facility for human physiology experiments in Columbus An International Standard Payload Rack, equipped with Science Modules to investigate the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body. EPM is a modular, multi-user facility consisting of a Carrier supporting a set of Science Modules. Each Science Module uses a standardised container that allows easy on-orbit reconfiguration of the facility. This flexibility will allow accommodation of new Science Modules to be developed in response to new scientific requirements. The Carrier can support up to 8 Science Modules, and also includes storage volume for consumables and deployed items. According to the current schedule, EPM will be launched aboard the Space Shuttle in October 2004 accommodated within the Columbus laboratory. From then on, the facility will be accessible for the astronauts to perform human physiology experiments.

Atelier Guarniero creates high quality space models, many of which are part of the ESA space program and of the International Space Station (ISS). Each scale model is made exactly matching the real spacecraft using information provided by the European space agency. At the moment we are working on a new line of rocket models beginning with the Soyuz launcher. We are planning to create a full line of rockets to complement our collection of satellites. Make sure to check back often to see pictures of every new satellite we produce.
