European manned space station. Study 2000. The ATV could evolve towards an unmanned free-flying laboratory providing a better microgravity level than the ISS.
It could periodically dock to the ISS for major servicing support. Such a free flying pressurized spacecraft could also be used as a safe haven for an entire ISS crew in case of a major emergency on-board the Station. That would give time for a crew to survive until they are rescued by a Soyuz or other vehicle.
Crew Size: 6. Habitable Volume: 48.00 m3.
