By using the JEM (Japanese Experiment Module) facility on ISS, we are planning to carry out a precise measurement of the flux and energy spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons of 10 GeV to several TeV. Since the electrons over several 100 GeV could be contributed only from the nearby sources within a distance less than 1 kpc, it is expected in the high energy region that the energy spectrum has a structural component and the distribution of the arrival directions presents anisotropy. By helping to localize and identify the nearest cosmic ray sources, these data should help to resolve the long-term puzzle. The instrument used for the observation is a kind of scintilating-fiber/lead imaging calorimeter that has been used for the balloon observations. We are developing an improved detector having a geometrical factor of 0.5 m2sr and a higher rejection power against the background protons (>=104). It is expected to observe nearly 500 electrons over 1 TeV during the one-year observation.
