IHI AEROSPACE Co., Ltd.
Looking Ahead to Future Progress
History
Since our first steps in research on rocket projectiles in 1953, IHI Aerospace (IA) has always been looking ahead to future progress. Cooperating with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to develop and manufacture various types of observational rockets, we have contributed to the launch of many scientific satellites.
In 2013, our efforts resulted in the successful launch of the Epsilon Rocket prototype, a next-generation solid rocket which inherited the technologies of all the aforementioned rockets.
As a leading comprehensive manufacturer carrying out the development and manufacturing of rocket projectiles in Japan, we are looking to enhance research and development activities to prepare for the coming space utilization age.
Business
IHI Aerospace (IA) is carrying out the development, manufacturing, and sales of rocket projectiles, and has been contributing in a big way to the singular space development in Japan.
Driven by our philosophy based on ‘originality,’ ‘innovation,’ and ‘harmony with society,’ we are working hard to contribute to realizing human beings’ dreams and social development with rocket related technologies. We act creatively and nimbly to delivering outstanding value to our customers, inspiration and satisfied smiles to the world.
