Question: Which French facility is responsible for monitoring the International Space Station?
About the article "International Space Station", section "Mission controls".

Candidate passages:
Columbus, the primary research facility for European payloads aboard the ISS, provides a generic laboratory as well as facilities specifically designed for biology, biomedical research and fluid physics.
Several mounting locations are affixed to the exterior of the module, which provide power and data to external experiments such as the European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF), Solar Monitoring Observatory, Materials International Space Station Experiment, and Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space.
A number of expansions are planned for the module to study quantum physics and cosmology.
ESA's development of technologies on all the main areas of life support has been ongoing for more than 20 years and are/have been used in modules such as Columbus and the ATV.
The German Aerospace Center DLR manages ground control operations for Columbus and the ATV is controlled from the French CNES Toulouse Space Center. 
Brekke is responsible for operations integration for vehicles visiting the International Space Station. 
The Master Control Facility (MCF)(Hindi:मुख्य नियंत्रण सुविधा) is a facility set up by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the city of Hassan in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Established in 1982, this facility is responsible for monitoring and controlling the satellites launched by ISRO.
This was the only Master Control Facility of ISRO till another one was established in Bhopal in 2005. 
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.
A Video Management Unit sends streaming video, images, and science data to Earth via the Columbus module's high-rate data link and can temporarily store 72 GB of video.
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.
The EDR has two different types of EMs: the standard International Space Station locker and the standard eight panel unit International Subrack Interface Standard (ISIS) drawer.EDR is a multi-user facility on board the International Space Station that accommodates a variety of science experiments.
It is located in the Columbus Laboratory module and was developed for the European Space Agency by Alenia Spazio, a subsidiary of Thales Alenia Space.
Like other payload racks in the station, the physical characteristics of EDR conform to the International Standard Payload Rack specification.EDR provides accommodation for up to 3 ISIS Drawers, and 4 ISS Lockers.
These standardized ECMs (Experiment Container Modules) can contain scientific experiments.
EDR provides the following services to the ECMs:  Stowage space  Power supply (28 V DC, 120 V DC)  Low Rate telecommand/telemetry (19.2 kbit/s RS-422)  Medium Rate telecommand/telemetry (10 Mbit/s Ethernet)  High Rate telemetry (32 Mbit/s SpaceWire)  Analogue video acquisition (NTSC)  Discrete commanding, monitoring and temperature monitoring services  Air cooling  Water cooling  Gaseous Nitrogen supply  Vacuum service  Waste gas service  Timeline service  Ancillary data and time services  Laptop crew interface The following ESA payloads are designed for use in EDR:  PCDF (Protein Crystallisation and Diagnostics Facility);  FASTER (Facility for Adsorption and Surface Tension).
EDR is operated according to ESA's decentralised payload operation concept.
The FRC (Facility Responsible Centre) for EDR is Erasmus USOC, located at ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands. 
The Columbus External Payload Facility (Columbus-EPF) consists of two identical L-shaped consoles attached to the starboard cone of Columbus in the zenith (top) and nadir (bottom) positions, each supporting two platforms for external payloads or payload facilities.
Four external payloads (payload facilities) can be operated at the same time.
The first Columbus-EPF payload facilities were the European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF) and Sun Monitoring on the External Payload Facility of Columbus (Solar), which were installed during the STS-122/1E mission during an extravehicular activity (EVA) by crew members.
Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space and EXPORT will be delivered to the International Space Station at a later, undetermined date.
In addition to structural support, Columbus can supply power and data (command) to the Columbus-EPF payloads and can poll the payloads for housekeeping (health and status) and user data.
The power and data interfaces available to the Columbus-EPF payloads are directly connected to the Columbus internal distribution systems.
Columbus-EPF payloads and payload facilities are controlled and commanded via Columbus using the same data links and ground segment infrastructure used for internal payloads.
Each payload has a facility-responsible centre that can transmit commands and receive telemetry via the Columbus Control Centre.
Columbus provides a maximum of 1.25 kW per Columbus-EPF location.
Each Columbus-EPF location is connected to two 120-Vdc power feeders, each of which has a maximum allocation of 1.25 kW.
Switching between the power feeders is done via the payload power switch box in Columbus and requires the power feeders to be powered down.
The maximum on-orbit mass of an external Columbus-EPF payload, including the adapter plate, is 290 kg.
The dimensions of a payload should not exceed 864 x 1168 x 1245 mm without the adapter plate.
