Kibo

The Electrostatic Levitation Furnace in the Japanese Kibo laboratory module heats samples to ultra-high temperatures to observe thermophysical properties difficult to measure in Earth’s gravity.

The JAXA-sponsored education-focused experiment known as THE SPACE FRONTIER STUDIO - KIBO enables new livestreaming capabilities on the station.

Expedition 59 Flight Engineer David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency prepared the free-flying Astrobee robotic assistant for a mobility test inside the Kibo laboratory module.
