Talk:Kibō (ISS module)

Ownership
I believe NASA 'owns' a certain amount of the research time on the module because it provided the launch, can anyone confirm this? --98.220.250.244 (talk) 02:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Article needs work
This page, along with the ISS page, need updating. The module has launched and been successfully connected. I know I should be bold and do the updating myself, but I don't have all the relevant information at hand. I'm hoping a spacegeek has all this information at hand and can do the write up more easily than I can. 67.177.198.124 (talk) 06:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC) violet


 * You're absolutely right, the page needs lots of improvement and updating. The information for this is largely available on the JAXA website. But sadly, there are no spacegeeks who can do the write-up any more easily than you! So ... please help! If you have questions about how to get started, don't hesitate to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spaceflight or on my talk page. (sdsds - talk) 03:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Why is this article not called Kibo, or Hope?
This is not a serious petition to change it, but is there any reasoning why? CompuHacker (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * At some earlier point "Kibo" had linked to James Parry. I sorted out Kibo (disambiguation) as a first step in the right direction.  Whether the link from Kibo should go to that page or straight here is an open question.  Someone moved my disambiguation page to Kibo to force the issue one way - before I had redirected from that page to the disambiguation page, but could as easily have set it to point at this page.

Reflight of ELM-ES
Is there an existing or planned launch system other than STS that could provide the payload volume needed to refly the Experiment Logistics Module - Exposed Section (ELM-ES) once STS-127 returns it to Earth? According to NASA, the ELM-ES "measures 4.9 meters (16.1 feet) wide, 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) high and 4.2 meters (13.8 feet) long." Does the H-II Transfer Vehicle accomodate a payload that size? Would the proposed Jupiter (DIRECT) system have this capability? (sdsds - talk) 22:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

JEMRMS
Dissappointed not to have more info on this arm. A picture and maybe even a page would be great.

Its also apparently called the Small Fine Arm (SFA) or "Ko-bot".--Craigboy (talk) 17:41, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Experiment Module → Kibo (ISS module) – All of the pressurised ISS modules (except Columbus) have both descriptive and 'popular' names (JEM and Kibo respectively, in this case). All other articles on ISS modules are named using the popular names - Zarya, Destiny, Leonardo, Pirs, etcetera; instead of their descriptive names - "Functional Cargo Block", "US Laboratory Module", "Permanent Multipurpose Module", "Docking Compartment 1", etc. It would therefore make sense for this article to follow the same pattern. -- G W … 11:59, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Kibō (ISS module) → Kibō – Kibō (without brackets) redirects to Kibō (ISS module), therefore the bracketing disambiguation is unnecessary. Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 06:25, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I have boldly redirected Kibō to Kibo where it should redirect, IMO.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That is out of process IMO. You have also used the wrong template on the redirect. Andrewa (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I replaced it with the correct template. However I don't think it's out of process as it doesn't affect the move discussion in question.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:53, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * How does removing the main argument of the proposer not affect the move discussion? Andrewa (talk) 01:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps basing the main argument on a place the redirect was incorrectly pointing at makes it flawed then? The nominator should have done their due diligence beforehand. Not really my problem.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:10, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Whether or not the argument is valid, you have no right to make bold changes that you know affect its validity while discussion is ongoing. It may be academic if consensus supports you. It was still not a good process. Andrewa (talk) 23:44, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose – I agree with Zxcvbnm that redirecting to the disambig page was the better fix here. Dicklyon (talk) 05:21, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the "Current external experiments" section
As for the current section title: I think there are two problems: -- Fukumoto (talk) 18:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Section header should not contain citations. MOS:NOSECTIONLINKS
 * While the cited web page looks quite well written, it is not evident to me who is the author and how it is written, so that it is hard to judge the credibility.
