The International Space Station (ISS) is set to advance Earth monitoring and environmental research. An ISS National Laboratory®-sponsored payload placed on the Airbus-developed Bartolomeo platform will extend access to the space station's unique vantage point. This innovation will improve Earth observation and provide unprecedented research opportunities, providing a deeper understanding of our planet.
