JEM-PM
JSC2003-E-42545 (For Release: 18 June 2003) --- The Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Pressurized Module (PM) is shown in a processing facility with the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) Main Arm attached for integrated testing. The JEM, called Kibo, which means "hope" in Japanese is Japan's primary contribution to the International Space Station. The Main Arm can handle up to seven tons (14,000 pounds) of hardware and a Small Fine Arm can be attached to handle more delicate operations. The PM arrived at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in early June 2003 to begin integrated testing with the Station's Node 2 and eventually pre-launch processing. The RMS will be delivered to KSC processing at a later date. Photo Credit: NASA
