The Microgravity User Support Center (MUSC) at the DLR site Cologne is in charge of payload and experiment operations on orbital and sub-orbital platforms. It provides large-scale scientific and technical ground infrastructures, including scientific laboratories and payload control rooms.
MUSC is contracted by ESA since 1995 to take the main role in European User Support in the fields of Material Science, Biology and Radiation Research, including experiment planning, verification and operation on the International Space Station (ISS) to support European principle investigators.
