> INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION MODULE FROM JAPAN ARRIVES AT NASA
>
> CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - After traveling thousands of miles, a major
> component of the International Space Station is set to begin
> preparations for launch. The Experiment Logistics Module Pressurized
> Section for the Japanese Experiment Module arrived at NASA's Kennedy
> Space Center in Florida early Monday, March 12. The Japanese
> Experiment Module is composed of three segments and is known as Kibo,
> which means "hope" in Japanese.
>
> Kibo is Japan's first human space facility and its primary
> contribution to the station. It will enhance the unique research
> capabilities of the orbiting complex by providing an additional
> environment in which astronauts can conduct science experiments. The
> Experiment Logistics Module Pressurized Section will serve as an
> on-orbit storage area for materials, tools and supplies. It can hold
> up to eight experiment racks and will attach to the top of another
> larger pressurized module.
>
> The ship carrying the module departed Feb. 7 from Yokohama, Japan, for
> the United States. Kibo's various components will be assembled in
> space during the course of three shuttle missions. The first of those
> three missions, STS-123, will carry the Experiment Logistics Module
> Pressurized Section aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, targeted for
> launch in 2007.
>
