Kibō (Japanese: きぼう; lit. 'Hope'), also known as the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM), is a Japanese science module for the International Space Station (ISS) developed by JAXA. It is the largest single ISS pressurized module by volume, attached to the Harmony module, and the second largest space station module ever, after Skylab's core. The first two pieces of the module were launched on Space Shuttle missions STS-123 and STS-124.
