| Three candidate experiment devices and themes utilizing early
stage of Kibo EF |
|
Three experiment devices have been selected. These devices will be designed
and developed cooperatively by the proposer organization and JAXA. Those
experiment devices being launched will be attached to Kibo's Exposed
Facility (EF) and will be utilized for experiments for one or two years.
For the experiment method
or outline, refer to the Space
Environment Utilization Database.
