Emergency alert is activated!!

On a certain day in 2024, the astronauts on the ISS were busy preparing for the Asian Try Zero-G event.

However, when the astronaut checked the whereabouts of the tools and manuals necessary for the experiment, the astronaut found that some were missing.

With the large amount of material on the ISS, searching for things can be very time-consuming.

There is no more time before the scheduled start time.

It is almost time to start the experiment. Can you find the missing tools and manuals?

Work with the Astrobee to find the items you’re looking for!

Get your program uplinked immediately!

Why enter the Kibo RPC?

The Kibo Robot Programming Challenge is an educational program in which students solve various problems by programming free-flying robots (Astrobee and Int-Ball) in the International Space Station (ISS).

The Kibo-RPC will inspire students to develop their educational and professional goals to a higher level.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge methodologies and hone their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through this program.

The Kibo-RPC will also expand international exchange by encouraging students to interact with other participants from around the world.
