Monday February 11th, 2008 at 22:44 (CET) the European space laboratory Columbus was officially attached to the Harmony module at the International Space Station (ISS), after Space Shuttle Atlantis carrying the Columbus module docked earlier on Saturday February 9th, 2008 18:17 (CET).
This was possible after Thursday February 7th, 2008 at 20:45 (CET)  Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-122) was successfully launched seven years after the US-lab Destiny was launched with the same shuttle (STS-98).

The contribution of Bradford to Columbus is modest, but definitely not unimportant.

We built among other things valves, fans and heat exchangers for the experiment racks. Above all we developed the ‘European Drawer Rack’, an European platform for experiments.

However the part that will we most visible for anyone is the Biological Glovebox (BGB) , a transparant box with latex gloves, in which astronauts can perform experiments in a fully enclosed environment. This is important for experiments in which hazardous (biological) substances are used.
