The Columbus Man Tended Free Flying (MTFF) laboratory and subsequent resupply performed by Hermes will be launched from CSG (French acronym for Guianan Space Center) with Ariane 5. Launch site operations for the initial MTFF launch includes among other transportation and receiving activities, MTFF servicing, checkout, mating of MTFF to Ariane 5 and interface verification. The operations also include a data end to end test involving the IOI GS (In Orbit Infrastructure Ground Segment) for flight operations in Europe, the DRS (Data Relay System), EET's, IGS and MSCC to verify all nominal and back up communication links and ascertain the final configuration and readiness of the involved space elements and ground facilities. The MTFF resupply missions are processed differently and follow mainly the Hermes preparation flow with integration of payload in Europe, transport to CSG, Hermes processing in the HIBK and BAF.
