Concentrated research area of microgravity and current scenario.
- Intermediate report. -

The president of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is advised by a consulting committee, the Space Environment Utilization Research Committee. This committee has a Microgravity Science Task Force. Microgravity science research areas are being discussed in this task force, including research directions in the future and current targets of Kibo utilization (concentrated areas), to organize the research areas and research themes for each target. The results of the discussion will be reported as the "Concentrated research area of microgravity and current scenario." An intermediate report has been submitted to the space environment utilization research committee.

JAXA invited comments from the public on this "Concentrated research area of microgravity and current scenario" until the end of February.

This will be discussed further, reflecting comments from researchers and the public, and will be submitted to establish the final version of concentrated area and research scenario.
