The first country to take material from an asteroid and bring it back to Earth, Japan has more ambitious projects in its sights, including aspirations for establishing permanent bases on the Moon. It is also actively promoting the commercialization of space, opening up the area to more players and bringing tangible benefits to society. By drawing on its strengths in precision manufacturing, engineering and robotics, Japan is embarking on an exciting range of space projects. This collection introduces Japan's space agency JAXA's vision for the future of space exploration as well as highlights the latest projects being undertaken by companies in Japan.
