European Drawer Rack

The European Drawer Rack (EDR) is a single, six-post International Standard Payload Rack (ISPR) with seven Experiment Modules (EMs), each of which has separate access to power and cooling.

The experiments are largely autonomous to minimize data transfer requirements, though the EDR can be operated remotely via telescience or in real time by the crew via a dedicated laptop.

[1] EDR is a multi-user facility on board the International Space Station that accommodates a variety of science experiments.

EDR provides accommodation for up to 3 ISIS Drawers, and 4 ISS Lockers.

The FRC (Facility Responsible Centre) for EDR is Erasmus USOC, located at ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
