The Space Station Program was initiated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with the participation of the European Space Agency (ESA), Canada, and Japan. The Space Station Core System is provided by NASA. The Attached Pressurized Modules (APM) are provided by ESA. The Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) is provided by Japan. A manipulator system called Mobile Service Center is provided by Canada. From 1986 to 1987, the partners conducted preliminary design of the space station. In order to start the Space Station Program, each partner has agreed to cooperate with NASA. This agreement is intended to cover all items, not only for the development of the space station but also for its operation and use. The space station basic operations and utilization concepts are discussed and coordinated among the partners internationally. The station's operational organization, management strategy, international responsibility, operations cost, etc. are also coordinated among the partners. Based on this coordination, studies on the systems and facilities necessary for operating the space station are conducted. This paper deals with the preliminary study results of the operations concept, emphasizing the operation of the JEM.
