Bartolomeo (ISS platform)

Spacecraft and Launch Vehicles

Bartolomeo, formerly called CEPHFISS for Commercial External Payload Hosting Facility On ISS, is an external payload platform mounted on the forward-facing side of the European Columbus module of the International Space Station. Airbus Defence and Space developed it together with its partner Teledyne Brown Engineering of Huntsville, Alabama, and it is installed, serviced and operated in a public and private arrangement with ESA, NASA and other partners in the station programme. It adds twelve external sites with an unobstructed view of Earth and space, active cooling, a payload or sample return option and standard payload interfaces, and its pallet can host six FRAM standard payloads and six JCAP based payloads. The pallet is sized to fit the trunk of a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule, and Bartolomeo flew on the Falcon 9 launch of Dragon CRS-20 from Cape Canaveral on 7 March 2020 along with several small satellites.
