As part of the European contribution to the International Space Station (ISS) Programme, ESA has developed a number of complex, pressurised and unpressurised payloads for conducting scientific investigations in a variety of disciplines, such as the life and physical sciences, technology and space science. The majority of these payloads will already be installed in ESA's Columbus Laboratory when it is launched in 2006. Many of them are ready for flight, whilst the others are approaching final acceptance. The development of these payloads and their utilisation on the ISS can be considered as a bridge to ESA's future Exploration activities.
作为欧洲对国际空间站（ISS）计划的贡献的一部分，欧洲航天局（ESA）已开发了许多复杂的、加压和非加压的有效载荷，用于在生命科学、物理科学、技术和空间科学等多个学科进行科学研究。这些有效载荷中的大多数将在2006年发射的ESA的哥伦布实验室中安装。其中许多已经准备好飞行，而其他的也即将完成最终验收。这些有效载荷的开发及其在国际空间站上的使用可被视为通向ESA未来探索活动的桥梁。
