Astronauts expand the ISS with the "Columbus" laboratory

Successful mission: The crew of the spacecraft "Atlantis" has installed the European Laboratory "Columbus" at the Space Station ISS . However, the German astronaut Hans Schlegel had to stay on board due to problems - the job outside was taken over by two colleagues.

At 10:30 p.m. German time, the success message came: Hans Schlegel and his colleagues have successfully docked the space laboratory on the ISS. The European 'Columbus' module is now part of the ISS. The "Columbus" touched the space station for the first time.
