Given an environment that is very similar to that of a space mission, I believe we could gain various experiences that could prove useful for future missions.
㰀⼀搀椀瘀㸀ഀContinuing from June, Astronaut Takuya Onishi, a crew member for the Expedition 48/49 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), continued training at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC).
ഀAt the JSC, Onishi took a simulation exam on responses in the event of emergencies on the ISS. Onishi demonstrated responses to such emergencies as fire, sudden depressurization, and toxic spills in completing the exam. He then completed all other exams as an Operator of the systems in the ISS U.S. segment.
ഀFrom July 6, Onishi stayed in Japan for three weeks.
ഀDuring his stay, while undergoing training for the Japanese Experiment Module ("Kibo"), Onishi participated in various activities, such as attending meetings for his long-duration mission, making courtesy visits to related parties, and engaging in public relations activities.

Training for Kibo started with a review of the knowledge and techniques that he had learned in the previous training series, followed by training on the systems and experiments in Kibo, mainly on Kibo’s Airlock.
ഀTraining on the Airlock was to install the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) to Kibo's Airlock. During the simulation of CubeSat (small satellite) deployment operations alongside the JAXA Flight Control Team (JFCT), Onishi confirmed collaboration with the team in case any irregularities occur.
ഀOnishi also gained an overview of the Exposed Experiment Handrail Attachment Mechanism (ExHAM), an exposed experiment device attached to Kibo's Exposed Facility (EF) where experiments have been underway since May.
ഀOther training included daily operations conducted on Kibo, as well as service and maintenance operations.
ऀऀ㰀⼀搀椀瘀㸀ഀFrom July 9-10 (Japan time), the Flight Control Team (FCT) of the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) KOUNOTORI and the NASA ISS flight controllers engaged in joint simulation training.
ഀAstronaut Koichi Wakata participated in the simulation training as a member of the NASA flight controllers.
ഀThey simulated a series of operations ranging from KOUNOTORI's rendezvous with the ISS, capture by the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), and berthing with the ISS, to activation.
ഀWakata will serve as the lead Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM: ground communicator with the ISS) to support onboard astronauts who maneuver the SSRMS during KOUNOTORI 5 capture operation. While on orbit, Astronaut Yui will maneuver the SSRMS to grapple KOUNOTORI 5, and Astronaut Wakata will support SSRMS operations from the ground.
