The European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF) will be mounted outside the Columbus module carrying experiments requiring exposure to the space
environment.


Experiments

EuTEF can accommodate six ‘standard’ experiments. Unlike the later additions, the experiments remaining from the original configuration do not conform to these values. In total, the payloads mass is less then350 kg, requiring less then 450W at its peak. The first round of experiments consists of:
– MEDET, material degradation in space
– DOSTEL, radiation measurements
– TRIBOLAB, tribology properties of materials in space
– EXPOSE, photobiology and exobiology
– DEBIE-2, micrometeoroid and orbital debris detectioncontract
– FIPEX, atomic oxygen detector

It has been created using advanced design- and manufacturing techniques. The scale model has been made exactly matching the authentic designs, respecting all details.

 

 

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.
