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.
Technologies necessary for space projects that are exposed to the severe space environment are unique, and many areas are still unknown, hence researchs on them are leading-edge.
