Honda is expanding its presence in the space industry, leveraging its expertise in engines, fuel cells, and other technologies. While known for automobiles, Honda is developing a renewable energy system for lunar applications in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). This system, which uses Honda's fuel-cell technology, aims to generate electricity and oxygen from water and solar energy and is planned to be tested on the International Space Station with partners like Sierra Space and Tec-Masters. Honda's space-related keywords include renewable energy, fuel cells, lunar development, and JAXA.

Honda and Astrobotic have teamed up to develop scalable lunar power solutions.
Honda is testing its regenerative fuel cell system for integration with Astrobotic's LunaGrid and VSAT.
Astrobotic Technology and American Honda Motor Co. will study integration of their power generation and storage technologies to support long-duration astronaut missions on the Moon.
The simulation tests will identify how much sunlight VSAT solar panels could receive to power Honda’s regenerative fuel cell system and will help Honda optimize the size of its regenerative fuel cells for future lunar missions.
The study will determine how Honda’s regenerative fuel cells could work together with Astrobotic’s LunaGrid power system and vertical solar array technology to provide continuous power during long stretches of lunar night.
