During the Bridging Phase of the Columbus project, the Attached Pressurised Module has been subjected to a series of design changes to accommodate the new International Space Station interface requirements and to comply with the reduced budget allocated to the Columbus Orbiting Facility (COF) Programme. In parallel to the studies aimed to define the COF Configuration, tests have been performed on the Thermal Control Subsystem, in those areas not affected by redesign changes, to investigate some typical aspects in thermo-hydraulic mathematical simulation areas and in the passive design areas.
