商品描述

Japan has a rich history of human spaceflight, flying in space with both NASA and the Soviet/Russian space agencies over the years. This book tells the story of the JAXA astronauts who have visited the International Space Station and how they have lived on board, helped construct the space laboratory and performed valuable scientific experiments.
JAXA has contributed the largest single module to the ISS: the Kibō (Hope) science laboratory with its Logistics Module, Exposed Facility and robot arm. JAXA supplies the station with cargo and supplies on its automated cargo spacecraft, the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), but it is the human endeavour that captures the imagination. From brief visits to six-month expeditions, from spacewalking to commanding the Earth's only outpost in space, JAXA astronauts have played a vital role in the international project.
Extensive use of colour photographs from NASA and JAXA depicting the experiments carried out and the phases of the ISS construction, together with the personal stories of the astronauts' experiences in space, highlight the crucial part the Japanese have played in human spaceflight.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

日本在人類太空飛行方面擁有豐富的歷史，多年來與NASA及蘇聯/俄羅斯太空機構共同進行太空飛行。本書講述了曾經造訪國際空間站的JAXA宇航員的故事，以及他們在太空站上的生活、協助建造太空實驗室和進行寶貴的科學實驗的經歷。

JAXA為國際空間站貢獻了最大的單一模組：Kibō（希望）科學實驗室，連同其物流模組、外露設施和機器手臂。JAXA透過其自動化貨運太空船H-II Transfer Vehicle（HTV）向空間站提供貨物和補給，但人類的努力才是最能引起想像的部分。從短暫的訪問到六個月的探險，從太空行走到指揮地球上唯一的太空前哨，JAXA宇航員在這個國際項目中扮演了至關重要的角色。

本書廣泛使用來自NASA和JAXA的彩色照片，展示了所進行的實驗和國際空間站建設的各個階段，並結合宇航員在太空中的個人經歷故事，突顯了日本在太空飛行中的關鍵角色。
