Abstract
This paper reports the space experiment definition and operation planning of the Japanese space colloid project “Kikuchi-Kossel”. The project was selected as one of candidates of space experiment in KIBO in 2010. Since then, the researchers and project members have tackled with the various issues to realize the space experiment in ISS/KIBO module, where these issues must be treated under the operations constraints as well as restrictions of the onboard apparatus. To ensure the mission success, we are adopting a milestone review approach for the on-board projects, issues and missions design referring to the experiment operations are coordinated with it. The paper will provide basic information to the researchers who aspire for scientific space experiments.
