N93-22616 'JAPANESE PLAN FOR SSF UTILIZATION

Toshio Mizuno

National Space Development Agency of Japan

ABSTRACT

The JEM program has made significant progress. The JEM PDR was completed in July 1992;

construction of JEM operation facilities has begun; and the micro-G airplane, drop shaft, and micro-

G experiment rocket are all operational. The national policy for JEM utilization was also established.

The Space Experiment Laboratory (SEL) opened in June '92 and will function as a user support

center. Eight JEM multiuser facilities are in phase B, and scientific requirements are being defined

for 17 candidate multiuser facilities. The National Joint Research Program is about to start. Precursor

missions and early Space Station utilization activities are being defined.

2. JEM Utilization Policy

2.1. Report by SAC SS panel was Issued in April 1992.

2.2, Report addresses the following:

(1) Need of national research program for promoting JEM Utilization.

(2) Importance of developing multiuser facilities

Identification of facility list and development policy.

(3) Cost sharing by users consistent with JEM and multiuser facility

verification/operation phase.

(4) Identification of AO issues and experiment selection timing and

frequency.

7. Onboard Multi-User Facility_(MUF) Development Status

7.1. Selection of MUF

• MUF Candidate List was completed by Pre-AO survey

List includes three categories, a definitive one, one which needs to

be coordinated among international partners, and one which needs

to reflect each year's AO
