    Experiment/Payload Description

    Research Summary

    • The proposed research seeks to take the temperature data aboard the HTV by installing small data logger in a Cargo Transfer Bag (CTB).


    • Temperature environment during transportation is very important for biological specimen or reagents for life-science experiments. Therefore, the actual temperature data in HTV is necessary for the experiment operation planning.


    • JAXA will start environment monitoring inside CTB aboard HTV1. Same packages will also be installed in the HTV2.
