On behalf of JAXA, the Space Policy Institute is pleased to announce:
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s annual New Year’s virtual event, “Japan-U.S. Aerospace Cooperation Seminar 2022,” will be held on Thursday, Jan. 27, at 11 a.m. (EST).
The Japanese government has recently revised the country’s roadmap of the Basic Plan on Space Policy, in which it stated its intention to land a Japanese astronaut on the Moon in the latter half of the 2020s. Exploration of the Moon and beyond requires united efforts among multiple nations, and the Japan-U.S. partnership is a critical component of the undertaking. We hope you will join us for the upcoming webinar to find out how we are working together with the U.S. and other global partners to advance Artemis program forward successfully.
During the event, SHOJI Yoshikazu, Director, International Relations and Research Department, JAXA, will present the latest information on JAXA and its programs, including a look at the JFY2022 budget. Prof. Scott Pace of George Washington University will also share his perspectives and insights on Japan-U.S. collaborations on the Artemis program and lunar exploration.
