Concept under discussion

The University of Tokyo has proposed using the former Kitashikahama Elementary School site in Adachi City, Tokyo, as a campus for research, education and demonstration in space resources, lunar environments, exploration instruments and robotics. Discussions with Adachi City are ongoing.

CSRI aims to bring universities and industry together, connecting research and development with ground-based demonstration and the training of future researchers and professionals. Dialogue with local residents and consideration for the surrounding environment are central to this concept. We will also develop opportunities for children to engage with advanced science and for technical exchange with local businesses.

For companies and research institutions interested in working with us

We welcome preliminary conversations with companies and research institutions interested in collaborative research, demonstration or potential future use of facilities and equipment, whether or not they have previous experience in the space sector. Please tell us about the challenges and technologies you wish to explore and the experimental environments you need.
