Summary

Description
English: An Antonov An-124 transport aircraft unloads Kibo at Kennedy Space Center.
On the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a flatbed trailer holds two components of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory that will be added to the International Space Station. The components will be transported to the Space Station Processing Facility. The components are the Kibo Exposed Facility, or EF, and the Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section, or ELM-ES. The EF provides a multipurpose platform where science experiments can be deployed and operated in the exposed environment. The payloads attached to the EF can be exchanged or retrieved by Kibo's robotic arm, the JEM Remote Manipulator System. The ELM-ES will be attached to the end of the EF to provide payload storage space and can carry up to three payloads at launch. In addition, the ELM-ES provides a logistics function where it can be detached from the EF and returned to the ground aboard the space shuttle. The two JEM components will be carried aboard space shuttle Endeavour on the STS-127 mission targeted for launch in May 2009.
