Summary of the Space Utilization Frontiers Joint Research

Abstract

International Space Station (ISS) will be operational with in few years. Japan will provide Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) which will be attached to the ISS and many kinds of microgravity experiments are planned using the JEM. The Space Utilization Frontiers Joint Research Project started to support the scientists who plan to conduct microgravity experiments. Private research laboratories, universities,and the national research laboratories participate in this research to promote the full utilization of the potential offered by unique microgravity environment. This Frontiers Joint Research is complete this year. In this paper, outline of the Frontiers Joint Research will be explained.
