On January 30, Pale Blue was selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Space Strategy Fund for the technical development theme “Realizing free movement in space (A): Development of an orbital transfer vehicle.”
NASA and JAXA studies indicate an orbital solar plant can generate upwards of 13 times more energy annually than an identical installation on the ground.
The joint ESA and JAXA BepiColombo mission is en route to Mercury carrying an advanced payload that includes contributions from the University of Bern.
The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission is currently en route to Mercury with orbital insertion planned for the end of 2026.
Research and development for Interstellar Technologies’ satellite project is being advanced through commissioned projects from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Space Strategy Fund implemented by JAXA.
Mitsui & Co was selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2023 to conduct a concept study for a U.S. commercial space station–connected successor to the Japanese Experiment Module.
On January 20, 2026 JAXA identified a payload fairing separation anomaly as the root cause of the December 22, 2025 failure of the eighth H3 launch vehicle (H3 F8).
JAXA's investigation found that during fairing separation physical contact or debris damaged the mounting section for Michibiki No. 5 (QZS-5).
The multi-session course series organized by Frontier Innovations with cooperation from JAXA and Crossyou is free to attend, has a maximum capacity of 30 participants, and includes lectures, Q&A/discussion, and individual/group work.
JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are focusing on re-engineering the fairing separation mechanism to prevent similar mechanical interference on future H3 flights.
The failure of an H-2 launch in 1999 carrying a Japanese weather satellite precipitated reforms that culminated in the formation of JAXA.
The 2026-02-06 event program includes a 19:40–20:20 presentation by Makoto Sakurai, Research Area Lead in JAXA’s Research and Development division, titled "The reality of space habitation supported by ECLSS."
JAXA was formed in 2003 by combining the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the National Space Development Agency (NASDA), and the National Aerospace Laboratory to centralize civil space activities.
JAXA has suspended all upcoming H3 launches, including the ninth flight (H3 F9) that was scheduled to carry Michibiki No. 7.
The report recommends that Kazakhstan seek partnerships with Germany’s DLR Institute of Space Systems, UAE’s Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, South Korea’s Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), and Japan’s JAXA Tsukuba Space Center.
JAXA purchased two launches from Rocket Lab to launch technology-demonstration small satellites.
Mitsuwa Home, Mitsuwa Home Comprehensive Research Institute, YKK, and Kanbou Plus jointly proposed a development project for flexible and highly constructible space connectivity technology, which was selected for funding by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) from the 13th research proposal recruitment for 'Moon to Mars Innovation' on January 22, with a research budget of 10 million yen.
From April 2026 to March 2028, five parties, including JAXA, will cooperate in technology development that considers the unique boundary conditions of space, including element-level space verification.
The joint proposal will continue the previous roles, with JAXA participating, and the four companies are set to commence collaborative research through industry-academia partnerships.
Teledyne Space Imaging has supplied space-qualified imaging sensors, focal plane arrays, and camera systems to major agencies including NASA, ESA, JAXA, and KARI and has contributed to more than 250 space projects.
