JAXA EPO activities

Two JAXA EPO activities are scheduled in Stage 17A.Name [category] Outline Items used Image

1 ISS Moon Score-Photographing the Moon

[Art]

Crewmember takes photos of various phase of the moon through the JPM Window.

Moon phase and position in the photos will be translated into musical scores.

Outcome: Photographs (downlinked)

D2Xs Camera

80-200mm Lens

400mm Lens

2 Dewey’s Forest Setup-Assembling case to grow up plants

[Culture]

Crewmember assembles and sets up a plant case in the JPM.

Subsequent crewmember will water and grow the plants in the case for two months.

Plant kits(see appendix for details)


ISS Moon Score

Preparation• Camera setting (Step 1)• JPM window shutter open (Step 2)

Photo session

Closeout

• Photographing with 200mm Lens (Step 3.1)• Photographing with 400mm Lens (Step 3.2)

• JPM window shutter closed (Step 4)• Image data save on SSC (Step 5)• Camera stowage (Step 6)

Step numbers in the flow correspond to the ODF steps.

Exposure settings: Mode - Manual Shutter speed - 1/500 Aperture - f/8

- 80 photos or more are required in approx. 5 minutes per lens.- Moon positions are preferably variable in the view. Variety of moon position due to naturally floating photographer in micro-g environment is desired in order to make a natural variety of sound fluctuations in music.


Dewey’s Forest Setup

Plant Unit Case setup• Plant Unit Case assembling (Steps 1 to 2)• Plant Unit Case installation under GLA in JPM (Step 3)

Before cultivation

Cultivation

• Plant Units retrieval from MELFI• Watering plant seeds in Plant Units• Plant Unit installation into Plant Unit Case

• Cultivation for two months• Watering once a week (TBD)

Step numbers in the flow correspond to the ODF steps.

After cultivation• Create space garden by connecting Plant Units• Discussion among crews on their idea and view of nature• Video shooting of created space garden and discussion

Safety N/A

Time Critical Operation At least 80 photos are required for each phase of the moon per lens to make a long musical score. (1 shot in 3 seconds)

Dos and Don’ts To make a good natural variety of the moon’s position and angle in the view due to micro-g effect:

- Hold a camera in landscape relative to yourself.

- Do not purposely change the camera’s orientation or angle.

- Do not be stabilized, but just float around naturally with the camera in front of the window.

Difficulty in Ops. N/A

Possible Mis-Ops. N/A
