Micro‐Gravity Laboratory of Japan （MGLAB） has been established as a semi public corporation invested in by the Prefecture of Gifu, City of Toki and private corporations. The micro‐gravity experoment facility of MGLAB is composed of a 100 m free‐drop zone and 50 m braking zone and this facility produces micro‐gravity environment for 4.5 seconds inside a freely falling capsule. It usually takes 70 minutes for one‐drop experoment operation. About 600 times micro‐gravity experiments have been conducted by using MGLAB’s facility since 1995. This paper presents the outline of micro‐gravity experiment facilities and the recent situation such as condition of utilization, educational program for students, demand examination and other activities of MGLAB up to now.
