The Manned Service Platform (MSPF) is described. The MSPF is, in reality, a small space station and will be constructed in orbit. There are three reasons to construct MSPF's: (1) to establish on-orbit service bases for other spacecraft; (2) to conduct technology development and verification of manned space activities that are particular to Japan; and (3) to provide manned space experiment opportunities in the area of space environment utilization.
