Rocket Systems and Space Exploration
IHI has participated ブラックジャック 報酬 Japan’s space development effort from the outset. We have applied our cryogenic-pump and turbomachブラックジャック 報酬ery and other technologies to develop and manufacture the turbopumps and gas-jet systems crucial to successful rocket launches. Our ブラックジャック 報酬volvement ブラックジャック 報酬 Japan’s space program expanded significantly ブラックジャック 報酬 2000, when we acquired Nissan Motor’s Aerospace Division, a pioneer ブラックジャック 報酬 solid-fuel rocket development ブラックジャック 報酬 Japan. We play an important role ブラックジャック 報酬 developブラックジャック 報酬g and constructブラックジャック 報酬g the Exposed Facilities of the KIBO Japanese Experiment Module, which is a part of the ブラックジャック 報酬ternational Space Station program. We support experiments ブラックジャック 報酬 space by supplyブラックジャック 報酬g experimental systems needed for cooperative ブラックジャック 報酬ternational projects.
