欧洲航天局（ESA）目前正在研究使用国际空间站（ISS）提供的外部设施的四个高能天文任务。它们分别是“龙虾- iss”——全天成像x射线监测仪，“罗西塔”——中能量x射线巡天望远镜阵列，“XEUS”——x射线演化宇宙光谱学任务，是欧空局xmm -牛顿x射线天文台的潜在继任者。极端宇宙空间天文台（EUSO）将利用地球大气层作为一个巨大的探测器来研究最高能量的宇宙射线，这些任务都被设计成附着在哥伦布舱的外部平台上，除了XEUS，它将访问国际空间站，将原来的4.5米的镜子放大到10米的直径。
The European Space Agency, ESA, is currently studying four high-energy astronomy missions that use the external facilities offered by the International Space Station (ISS). These are Lobster-ISS, an all-sky imaging X-ray monitor, Rosita a medium-energy X-ray survey telescope array, XEUS the X-ray Evolving Universe Spectroscopy Mission, a potential successor to ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory. and the Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) which will study the highest energy cosmic rays using the Earth’s atmosphere as a giant detector These missions are designed to be attached to the external platforms on the Columbus module, except for XEUS which will visit the ISS to enlarge the original 4.5 meter mirrors to their full 10 meter diameter.
