れた製造であれば、構内の観察も困難であつた。As described above, in order to breed amphibians and other animals that survive in water in a space of zero gravity, the tank must be closed. In a conventional closed tank, animals can only be taken in and out on the ground. For this reason, it is impossible to perform a treatment such as injection on an animal in a space laboratory, or to remove a sample such as an egg, and it has not been possible to cope with various experimental purposes. In addition, it was difficult to observe the premises if the tank was embedded in the main body.
