Asian Try Zero-G

With the goal of promoting manned space experiment activities aboard Kibo, a Japanese astronaut performs selected experiments covering themes proposed by youth from Asian countries. Member countries of Kibo-ABC are invited to submit proposals for experiments. Member agencies will work on the screening of proposals according to selection method, and this could develop the skills needed for feasibility studies of Kibo experiments. After feasibility assessments by JAXA, the final selection of experiment themes will be determined by member agencies.

There are 2 categories for this program since 2015. Category 1 is for students under 18 years old, and Category 2 is for young scientists and engineers, ages up to 27 years old.
