Since the launch of the Japanese Experiment Module KIBO in 2008, three crystal growth experiments have been performed. For each experiment, an Experiment Unit (EU) was developed based on the discussion with the Principal Investigator (PI). Using the EU, ground control experiments were conducted before flight. After launch, experiments were run repeatedly to check the reproducibility of the measurements. Experiment coordination process is introduced together with the overview of the experiments.
