Since starting this blog, I've devoted a few posts to Japan's Kibo lab modules and the Space Shuttle missions involved in transporting the components. This week's question stays on this topic. Here's the question, and you need to answer all three parts to get THIRTY RALPHERS!
After STS-124, there will be one more Space Shuttle mission to bring the final components of Kibo to the International Space Station. What is the mission number (STS-###) of this shuttle flight? Next, what is one of the Kibo components that will be transported? Finally, what is the name of the Japanese astronaut who will be returning from the ISS when the Shuttle comes back to Florida?
If you can answer all three of these questions, you will earn 30 Ralphers. For each part you get right, you will get ten. Here's a bonus question that will get you 20 more if you can answer it correctly:
Who was the first Japanese astronaut to travel on a Space Shuttle?
Good luck! All answers are due before the end of the school day on Thursday!

Trisha,
STS-123 already flew! Good try though. The mission number is greater than 124. Don't forget to try to answer the other questions.
And students, please remember to use only your last INITIAL, not your whole last name! Thanks!
Takao Doiis the first Japanese astronaut to travel on a Space Shuttle.

Good try, but it wasn't Doi. Takao Doi did just return from a mission recently, but the first Japanese astronaut aboard a Space Shuttle traveled in 1992 on Endeavour. Oops! I guess that was a hint!
It is Mission STS-127. One thing they are bringing is the KIBO Japanese Experimental Module Exposed Facility. The Japanese astronaut coming back is Koichi Wakata. Bonus - 1st Japanese astronaut to travel on Space shuttle was Mamoru Mohri in 1992. From Alexander H.
Alright people, I've had the first completely right answer (plus bonus) posted at about 9:00 tonight! Keep 'em coming!
