With the Japan Module, we shape the path from concept to commercialization together.
We are more than a provider of space station modules.
We are a co-creation partner that works alongside you as you explore new business opportunities in space, from initial dialogue and concept development to on-orbit implementation and bringing the resulting value back to Earth.
Four business areas supporting your space business
Supporting private-sector on-orbit demonstrations as a JAXA-selected implementation partner for ISS "Kibo".
Providing access to ISS ”Kibo” for R&D and technology demonstrations, and supporting the first step toward new business creation in space.
Japan's laboratory and habitation module connected to a commercial space station.
Providing a uniquely Japanese hub accessible to a diverse range of companies and organizations. Supporting a wide range of space activities, including research, demonstration, and manufacturing.
Connecting Earth and commercial space stations through Japan’s new cargo transportation service.
Building on the proven heritage of HTV-X, we are developing HTV-XC, a next-generation commercial cargo resupply vehicle designed to deliver cargo safely to space and support space logistics in the post-ISS era.
Expanding access to the space environment as a platform for experimentation, demonstration, and innovation.
Providing access to the external space environment as a testbed for demonstrating new technologies and advanced materials. By streamlining space-based technology demonstrations that have traditionally required significant time and cost, the platform will accelerate research and development.
Low earth orbit use cases where diverse industries converge
Manufacturing semiconductors in orbit with levels of quality unattainable on Earth and helping build a new in-space manufacturing industry.
Together with our partners, we are defining the validation criteria and designing the experimental setup for crystal growth in microgravity, in preparation for an on-orbit demonstration aboard ISS Kibo.
Creating tissues and organoids in orbit and advancing their application in regenerative medicine.
Together with our partners, we are defining the validation criteria and designing the experimental setup for tissue formation in microgravity, in preparation for an on-orbit demonstration.
Creating a new market for space-based experiences and content through an orbital platform.
Together with our partners, we have begun developing concepts for interactive experiences that connect audiences on Earth with activities in orbit.
No prior expertise in the space industry is required. We provide end-to-end support from initial concept through commercialization.
Starting with your business challenges and growth strategy, we work with you to explore potential applications in space. You are welcome to begin with an introductory session or an initial brainstorming discussion.
We support the full process of demonstration planning and payload preparation, including requirements definition, technical coordination, interface compliance, and safety reviews.
We provide integrated mission support for demonstrations aboard ISS Kibo, including launch coordination and mission operations.
We help turn demonstration results into sustainable business opportunities. As post-ISS orbital platforms become operational, we continue to work alongside you through full-scale utilization and ongoing operations.
Start with a Conversation.
Even if you are new to space or your concept is still taking shape, please feel free to reach out and use us as a sounding board.
Consultations are also available under a non-disclosure agreement.
