IHI Aerospace

Japanese space agency JAXA conducted an experiment with a detonation engine using S-520 sounding rocket. It is said that its demonstration in space with liquid fuel is the first in the world. IHI Aerospace is pleased to be able to contribute to such an innovative experiment. We will continue to contribute to the development of society through space exploration. https://lnkd.in/gj8Q4EjH #IHI #space #rocket

Congratulations to the team for the sucsessful launch of H3's 4th flight. IHI Aerospace and IHI corporation provides several critical systems such as Solid Rocket Boosters, Reaction Control System and turbopumps for 1st/2nd stage engines. #IHI #space #propulsion #H3 https://lnkd.in/gaTSGVmg

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced successful release of 7 small satellites. We are proud of contributing small satellite deployment by JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD), which had been developed by JAXA and IHI Aerospace. #space #satellite #IHIAerospace https://lnkd.in/g9rjmhBa

IHI Aerospace received a letter of appreciation from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for its contribution to the success of the "Small Lunar Landing Demonstration Vehicle (SLIM)" project, which aims to demonstrate pinpoint landing technology on the lunar surface. As interest in lunar utilization increases and water resource surveys are being considered, SLIM has taken on the challenge of developing precision landing technology on the lunar surface, aiming to reach scientifically significant locations. SLIM is equipped with 12 "attitude control thrusters" developed and manufactured by IHI Aerospace. These thrusters play a crucial role in achieving pinpoint lunar landings by responding to guidance control instructions based on information such as image matching, and by adjusting the final landing posture near the lunar surface. The technologies demonstrated by SLIM will be key elements supporting Japan's space exploration efforts, including the Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) project and lunar polar missions. We are deeply honored to have contributed to its success, showcasing Japan's technological prowess to the world. IHI Aerospace will continue to respond to the growing global interest in space utilization with its solid technological capabilities, contributing to the expansion of humanity's activity domain and the development of Japan's space industry. #space #propulsion #IHI #IHIAerospace #thruster https://lnkd.in/gyqvAVJi

Congratulations on the successful turbopump test. We are happy to support this important milestone.

Congratulations to the team for the sucsessful launch of H3's 3rd flight. IHI Aerospace provides H3 launch vehicle and ALOS-4 satellite with several critical systems, such as Solid Rocket Boosters, Reaction Control System and thrusters. We wish also successful operation of ALOS-4. #IHIAerospace #space #propulsion #spacepropulsion #thruster https://lnkd.in/gNSpMjYN

IHI Aerospace will provide a passive docking system in a collaboration with Kanematsu to Sierra Space. The passive docking system is an essential component that enables reliable and safe docking between spacecraft, such as Dream Chaser®, and a commercial space station. The passive docking system developed by IHI Aerospace complies with the International Docking System Standard (IDSS), and it is developed to realize simple, versatile, and highly reliable docking in space. The companies have completed the preliminary design review and are planning to collaborate toward the critical design. Since 2021, IHI Aerospace has been working with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on the development of an IDSS compliant active docking system. https://lnkd.in/gFDpPics

Well done to the whole H3 team including our colleagues. Japan's new era has just started with this successful launch of new generation rocket. https://lnkd.in/gWfNeD8x

The Reaction Control System supplied by IHI Aerospace had been installed to second stage of H3 launch vehicle for Test Flight no.2. We support this launch campaign as one of the cheering supporters. https://lnkd.in/gnDef5iB
