JAXA has currently developed the experiment planning documents and element integration analysis for the AO#1 themes. These studies are done by JAXA and the Principle Investigators.

JAXA selected 50 themes for the Kibo AO#1 in Aug. 1993. Some of the themes had a chance to carry out microgravity experiments on the space shuttle, some had withdrawn, leaving 7 themes.
