MIMES
Still in the concept development phase are two proposed spaceplanes with primary or secondary microgravity research objectives. ISAS is studying a Highly Maneuverable Experiment Space (MIMES) vehicle which initially would belimited to sub-orbital missions of approximately 30 minutes in duration. In its current design, MIMES is a 14-metric ton class spaceplane with a wing span of less than 10 m and a length of nearly 14 m.
