Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has completed the construction of Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) or “KIBO”, i.e. the nickname of JEM, on orbit till 2009 after three times STS flights. The Exposed Facility of JEM (JEM-EF) is one of the most characteristic accommodations on ISS to provide an environment directly exposed to the outer space. JEMEF is expected to be suitable for experimental missions of a wide variety of field such as earth and space sciences and technological development. In this paper, JEM-EF and its payload are outlined, the interface between them and some significant constraints which must be taken into consideration on using JEM-EF are also discussed. Four missions now on JEM-EF and two being prepared for next utilization stage are introduced. I close this paper by the discussion of the strategies to make JEM-EF utilization be wider and more fruitful.

The Space Flyer Unit (SFU) is an unmanned free flyer flown in orbit from March 18, 1995 to January 20, 1996. Space environments such as microgravity and surrounding atmospheric condi­tions were monitored and are reviewed as reference for future missions. Engineering impacts of microgravity on spacecraft are also reviewed including post flight analyses.

Combustion synthesis technology can be advantageously applied to high-temperature experiments under microgravity environments(MOE) not only as a direct synthesizing method for high-temperature materials but also as a super-heating chemical oven, because it is possi­ble to get high temperatures more rapidly compared to conventional electric furnaces. In the present work, the combustion synthesis of ZrO2-A}zO3-Fe and TiB2-Al-B composite systems have been carried out using a TR-IA sounding rocket which provides about 10- 4 g0 for six minutes. As the former result, more uniform distribution and finer particles of ZrO2 could be attained under MOE, which would be caused from no disturbance in mass migration. As the latter, the composite layered particles composed of TiB2 and Al-B system synthesized under MOE were more uniform compared to those obtained on earth, which would result in the formation of denser cermet-like products.
