Designed and built by Alenia from Italy, it is approximately 2 meters in diameter and 1.5 meters tall. It has six side windows and a top window, all of which are equipped with shutters to protect them from micrometeorite damage. When the Cupola was designed, it was intended that one of the two identical robotic workstations to control the Canadarm2 would be eventually mounted in the Cupola. The Cupola is designed to be attached to the Unity Module.
