The Kibo laboratory module is comprised of several components including the Pressurized Module where station crew members conduct science experiments, the Logistics module (pictured here) where science gear and research samples are stored, and the Exposed Facility where external experiments can deployed to understand the harsh effects of the space environment. Also pictured are portions of two robotic arms including Japan's robotic manipulator system (left) that can maneuver external experiments and deploy nanosateliites, and the Canadarm2 robotic arm that can capture, install, and release car
