Cutting-edge technological power is required for conducting highly reliable aerospace
activities that can attain safe and reliable achievements. For that reason, verification
through research and development (R&D) is important, thus JAXA has been engaging in R&D
in fundamental technologies that can be commonly applied in the aerospace field. |

Connecting Present and Future through Technology
|
Centered around the areas in which JAXA has strong points, such as numerical simulation technology, highly-reliable software technology, mounted equipment and parts with high global competitiveness, and advanced rocket engines, we aim to contribute to enhancing competitiveness in highly advanced space projects and resolving challenges through stronger collaboration among industry, government, and academia. In the future, depending on the expansion of utilization of aerospace, in the areas that need improvement and enhancement, we will utilize competitive research funds, introduce private funds, and mobilize human resources to promote agile research and development. |

JAXA-STEPS
|
JAXA Space Technologies rapid Evaluation Program on Small satelliteJAXA Space Technologies rapid Evaluation Program on Small satellite (JAXA-STEPS) provides an efficient one-stop mechanism for rapidly delivering proof-of-concept (PoC) opportunities for missions and critical technologies that benefit both the public and private sectors, centered on two pillars—open-call R&D programs and demonstration coordination. * The Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration Program, the Agile Research Program for Advanced Technology in Satellite Service and Process, and JAXA-Small Satellite Rush Program (JAXA-SMASH) have been integrated and relaunched as JAXA-STEPS. |
