Astronaut Takao Doi, 53, is set to travel on a US shuttle in March to the International Space Station, where he will be in charge of construction of a Japanese scientific testing room.</P><P>
It is believed gravity is needed for a boomerang to fly back to the throwing spot, but no one has tried in zero gravity.</P><P>
"Mr. Doi said he will personally carry a paper boomerang for the upcoming mission and we presume he will try it when he has spare time," said an official of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.</P><P>
Doi reportedly decided on boomerang tests after he received a request from Yasuhiro Togai, a world boomerang champion from the western Japanese metropolis of Osaka.</P><P>
Doi later underwent training from the world champion on how to throw it, media reports said.</P><P>
