A team of astronauts installed this Tuesday the Japanese laboratory Kibo on the International Space Station.
The laboratory was assembled after two crew members make preparations during a space walk that lasted more than six hours. The laboratory of U.S. $ 1,000 million and 16 tons is the size of a bus and will help astronauts to conduct experiments in the field of biomedicine and materials sciences. He was taken to the station on Monday by the U.S. space shuttle Discovery.
Kibo, with nearly 12 meters long, is bigger than the U.S. and European laboratories attached to the station, a project involving 16 nations.
The Japanese lab also has a pair of robotic arms, the largest of which reached orbit in the hold of Discovery.
