Representative achievements in recent years
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.

June 22nd to September 11th, 2020
Flight experiment of the Situational Awareness and Visual Enhancer for Rescue Helicopter (SAVERH)
October 13th to November 5th, 2020
Improved safety and convenience of helicopters
October 25th to October 31st, 2020
Research on automatic flight and mission performance improvement technology for small unmanned aerial vehicles
October 26th to November 8th, 2020
Aiming to increase the speed of helicopters, which are technically limited in the conventional type, we conducted a flight test using the unmanned compound helicopter "K-RACER" and demonstrated the technology. In the 2020 test, stable flight by autonomous control was confirmed.

July 6th to July 17th, 2020
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.
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.
"We have made a great contribution to comunity development on space in Taiki Town, such as joint research with Interstellar Technologies Inc. and experiments at the Hokkaido Spaceport. In March 2020, a comprehensive cooperation agreement was signed with Taiki Town with the aim of contributing to the development of local communities, human resource development, and academic promotion. In addition, we are planning to build a full-scale high-speed running track with a total length of 3000 m as a research experimental facility to be installed in the Spaceport."

Hokkaido University and local Uematsu Electric Co., Ltd. developed CAMUI type hybrid rockets and conducted many launch experiments in Taiki Town. An innovative combustion method, in which liquid oxygen and hot combustion gas repeatedly collide with solid plastic resin, attracts worldwide attention as inexpensive and highly safe small rockets without explosives.

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.
TSRP (Tokai Student Rocket Project) was established in 1995 with the aim of training future space engineers and providing them a place to build their own rockets from scratch in a low-cost way.
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.
HOSPO stands for “Hokkaido Spaceport”.
HOSPO is built by local government, Taiki-town.
HOSPO is the first public spaceport in Asian region.
