In Japan, JAXA has almost finished constructing“Kibo”, a space experimental module in the International Space Station（ISS）, in August, 2008. The first space research of Japan will be carried out at“Kibo”soon.We are also planning to perform a space experiment in“Kibo”to clarify the molecular mechanism of muscle atrophy caused by micro gravity. In this paper, we report our history and future plan to develop space research
