Onboard centrifuges are indispensable tools for clarifying the effects of microgravity on various physiological processes in plant seedlings. Centrifuges are basically attached to the incubators designed for the International Space Station (ISS). However, because of the limitation in size, that loaded to the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) is usable only to some small seedlings such as Arabidopsis. The Centrifuge Accommodation Module (CAM) has great advantages in the size and the amounts of plant materials feasible to load, the quality of acceleration produced, and the easiness of operation on it. The CAM is an apparatus that characterizes the ISS most and its construction on schedule is highly expected.
