Unparalleled Visibility and Data Transmission
Bartolomeo redefines scientific observation on the ISS. Its exceptional viewing geometry provides unobstructed Nadir, Zenith, and Limb angles, ideal for a wide range of Earth and space science studies. This is the only platform on the ISS offering a clear view towards both our planet and deep space. Furthermore, the platform facilitates the highest data downlink rates available on the ISS, ensuring the efficient transmission of your critical scientific findings. This minimizes delays and maximizes research productivity.
