iSpace Sees Possibility in Japan-US Artemis Agreement

  • Category:Other
ispace, a space robot development company, supports Japan’s participation in the Artemis Agreement. The agreement between Japan and the US for the Artemis mission will benefit the country.

The chief executive of the Takeshi Hakamada ispace says that Japan’s joining the Artemis mission will explore a new potential market, particularly for ispace. This agreement will likely require Japanese-made landers.

Based on the contract agreed between Japan and the US, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will provide the rover robot for the Artemis mission in the early 2030s. There is a possibility that JAXA will need the services of companies like ispace.

Takeshi Hakameda, Chief Executive, iSpace says as quoted from Spacenews:  “We believe that the Japanese-US agreement regarding the Artemis program, created in April of this year, creates a business environment that is quite positive for us to cooperate and contribute to the government,”.

Takeshi believes that NASA, which leads the Artemis mission, will require a small lunar lander robot such as the one where space is developing today.
Therefore, Takeshi strongly supports the agreement between Japan and the US for the Artemis mission.
