The National Space Development Agency of Japan and National Aerospace Laboratory are actively promoting cooperative activities between industry and academia aiming at contributing to space utilization market expansion and stronger international competitiveness of the Japan space industry. As part of the activities, we are planning to launch the “Open Lab System (tentative name)” in April 2003.

Currently, we are visiting eight Japanese cities to hold the “Space and Aeronautic Technology Interchange Meeting” to introduce technologies required for space development and the “Open Lab System”. Those who are interested in space and aeronautic technologies, please join us!
