Node-3 and Cupola: European technology to complete the ISS
Better regenerative and life-support systems for the ISSNode-3 differs significantly from the others. It is state-of-the-art, the most complex pressurized element of the ISS, offering many more capabilities than originally planned. It will accommodate sophisticated crew and life-support equipment, some relocated from the US Destiny laboratory module, leaving more room there for science racks.Node-3 will be the heart of the Station?s life support, removing carbon dioxide, generating oxygen and recycling water. It will house an additional toilet and exercise equipment for the crew of up to six.Cupola will be used by the crew to operate the Station?s robot arm, monitor dockings of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) and other incoming craft, help out during spacewalks and make scientific observations. It also has an important function as a panoramic relaxation area: one of the most enjoyable experiences aboard the Station is looking down at Earth or up at the stars.The ISS set to be operated for 10 more yearsWi
