ACHIEVEMENT
Representative achievements in recent years
Interstellar Technologies Inc.
We independently develop and manufacture the sounding rocket "MOMO" and the microsatellite launch vehicle "ZERO". In 2019, we launched "MOMO F. 3" and reached outer space for the first time in Japan as a rocket developed and manufactured by a private company alone.
JAXA（Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency）
In 2008, JAXA signed a cooperation agreement with Taiki Town and defined Taiki Aerospace Research Field in Multipurpose Aviation Park. A wide range of experiments have been conducted, including scientific balloon experiments, aeronautical technology experiments, Hayabusa2 laser altimeter experiments, and HTV small re-entry capsule experiments.

PD AeroSpace. LTD.
We are developing a space plane that takes off and landing from the runway. Since 2016, we have been conducting flight tests in Taiki town for the technical demonstration and practical application of the world's first jet combustion mode / rocket combustion mode switching engine.
SoftBank Corp.
For the purpose of early rescue of victims in snowy mountains and mountainous areas, we conducted an outdoor demonstration experiment using our uniquely improved drone wireless relay system. In an experiment conducted in 2018, it was confirmed that the location of the smartphone can be identified without depending on the mobile communication operator to which the victim subscribes.

The University of Electro-Communications
A wide variety of research projects on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can be expected to be used from the air in the event of a disaster, have been paid a lot of attention in recent years. Prof. Kazuo Tanaka and his team, Department of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan, are designing and testing smart UAV systems via a recent-proposed theory for nonlinear control systems design and analysis. They have been carrying out a large number of flight mission experiments using the smart UAVs in Taiki, Hokkaido, Japan, over the last decade.
