Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the currently planned on-orbit space verification experimental device complex composed of multiple inflatable demonstration units, proposed by the authors' group. The compact device named SIMPLE is designed to be suitable for one of the shared experimental installations that constitute a single experimental block attached to the Exposed Facility of Kibo Japanese Experimental Module (JEM) of ISS. The SIMPLE mission was accepted by JAXA as the candidate of the secondary application of the Exposed Facility of JEM at the end of last year.
