HREP was installed on the ISS and has been functioning since that time. Because STP is the organization responsible for providing launch services for all of DoD's R&D space experiments and has used the International Space Station extensively in the past for its experiments, a concerted effort began seeking means to continue use of the ISS once the Shuttle retires, HREP launching on the JAXA HTV is one of these efforts. This paper presents both the development of HREP and its ISS integration as well as providing insights into issues related to taking a US payload to JAXA for launch. Specifically the paper deals with practical aspects not only of integration but also of living and working in Tanegashima.

With the Shuttle expected to retire in the 2010 timeframe a concerted effort is underway to find alternate means to send experiments to the International Space Station and, if possible, return them from the ISS. With some success STP has found alternatives to the shuttle for access to the ISS, specifically using the Russian Progress vehicle. This paper will provide a survey of ISS access methods in the post-shuttle era, focusing on capabilities of interest to the experimenter as well as processes required in the areas of manifesting, integration, and safety. Specifically it will address current alternatives to the shuttle, including Soyuz, Progress, ATV, and HTV vehicles as well as the proposed Rocketplane-Kistler and SpacEx servicing vehicles. 12
