Columbus Exposed Payload Facility
Space Administration
Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center
(cid:131) The Columbus Module has four Exposed payload sites to perform
external science investigations
(cid:190) Payloads are integrated onto a special adapter plate (Columbus Adapter Plate
Assembly CEPA)
(cid:190) Each site is equipped with interface hardware that permits CEPA mounted
payloads to be installed and removed on-orbit
(cid:190) Payloads can be installed by Astronauts performing Extravehicular Activity
(Space walks)
(cid:190) Payloads can also be installed using the Special Purpose Dextrious
Manipulator (SPDM)
o The SPDM can perform fine robotic operations that would be difficult for the large
robotic arm)
