Research summary
I expect that human space exploration to make explosive progress through the utilization of space resources. I am conducting basic research for the near-future utilization of space resources. I have been participating in the solar system exploration programs of space agencies such as JAXA, NASA, and ESA from the planning stage to investigate the surface geology and formation and evolution processes of asteroids, Mars, Venus, and their satellites. Currently, I am contributing to the Mars Mission (MMX), the Lunar Polar Exploration Program (LUPEX), and the Lunar Resource Exploration Program (TSUKIMI), and am also cooperating with domestic and foreign private companies to conduct demonstration experiments to actually use materials from the Moon and asteroids.
