Experiment Themes / Hardware in the JEM Exposed Facility |
These experiments are conducted by bringing independent experiment hardware to
the JEM Exposed Facility (experiment site exposed to space). The announcement
of opportunities took place for JEM's primary utilization stage in 1996,
and four experiment themes
and hardware systems were selected. Two years prior to the beginning
of JEM operation, a second invitation for research themes utilizing hardware
developed and data acquired in the early stage will be offered. The opportunity
for next-stage experiments will also be announced at that time.

Experiment Themes in the JEM Pressurized Module |
These experiments are conducted utilizing common hardware incorporated into the
JEM Pressurized Module (inside pressurized module). The
first announcements of research opportunities took place in 1992 and
1993. Announcements of additional research opportunities are planned in
the future.

Ground-based Research Announcement |
SPARC promotes a system of public solicitation of research proposals for
ground-based research.
This system provides researchers in a wide variety of fields with ground-based
research opportunities prior to the space environment utilization. For
detailed information, please contact the Space Utilization Research Department
of the Japan Space Forum (Tel 03-3459-1653). |
