This book tells the story of the JAXA astronauts who have visited the International Space Station and how they have lived on board, helped construct the space laboratory and performed valuable scientific experiments. JAXA has contributed the largest single module to the ISS: the Kib? (Hope) science laboratory with its Logistics Module, Exposed Facility and robot arm. JAXA supplies the station with cargo and supplies on its automated cargo spacecraft, the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), but it is the human endeavour that captures the imagination. From brief visits to six-month expeditions, from spacewalking to commanding the Earth?s only outpost in space, JAXA astronauts have played a vital role in the international project. Extensive use of colour photographs from NASA and JAXA depicting the experiments carried out and the phases of the ISS construction, together with the personal stories of the astronauts? experiences in space, highlight the crucial part the Japanese have played in human spaceflight. 410 0$aSpace Exploration 606 $aTechnology 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aJapan?History 606 $aPopular Science in Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aHistory of Japan$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aJapan?History. 615 14$aPopular Science in Technology. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aHistory of Japan. 676 $a629.40952 700 $aO'Sullivan$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0805188 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337875703321 996 $aJapanese Missions to the International Space Station$92522935 997 $aUNINA
