Promoting innovation in the space industry
While Japan’s space industry is expected to grow in the future, it will likely face difficulties due to a lack of supply chain capabilities, represented by shortages of launch vehicles and heavy dependence on imports for major components of artificial satellites. Recognizing this situation will pose a major issue to the sustainable development of the country’s space economy, we will take on challenges to solve the situation.
