The program intends to promote understanding, and to give regional space agencies experience in the utilization of the Japanese Experiment Module, “Kibo”, of the International SpaceStation (ISS). It also aims to provide young people in the Asia-Pacific region with opportunities to learn about leading edge sciences through their participations in experiments under peculiar space conditions, including microgravity. Students from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam participated in the SSAF2010-2011 program. As part of this program seeds from each of these nations were flown to the ISS and kept in the Kibo Module. These seeds were then returned to Earth where they were germinated and compared to control seed not flown in space. This experiment involved researchers, students and the general public. In the SSAF2013 program, there are plans to cultivate seeds indigenous to Asia in theKibo/ISS facilities. The plan is to send Azuki bean (Vigna angularis) to Kibo, and observe the growth of their seedlings under dark conditions. Members of the Kibo-ABC initiative are collaborating in the preparation of the seed germinationtesting procedures, following which many people, including children, students and researchers, are expected to participate in the program., 資料番号: PA1410083000}, pages = {Tp_1--Tp_5}, title = {Space Seeds for Asian Future}, volume = {12}, year = {2014} }
