EBARA CORPORATION (EBARA) has, together with Muroran Institute of Technology and Interstellar Technologies Inc. (IST) started the joint development of a turbo pump for a rocket that will launch an ultra-compact satellite into space.
On August 1, EBARA started the CP Hydrogen Business Project under the direct control of the President. The main theme of this project includes the area of aerospace technology. With the progress of the advanced information society, many companies are beginning to develop rockets to launch satellites. We have an established track record of technical support for a turbo pump for rockets in cooperation with external agencies.
Additionally, the team that won a prize in “E-Start 2020”, the new business idea competition held internally in 2020, proposed a business idea in the field of aerospace technology. After the idea on commercialization has been considered, it is finally being realized through the CP Hydrogen business project.
The Muroran Institute of Technology's Aerospace Plane Research Center (APReC) has opened its Space Project Co-creation Laboratory to promote industry-academia partnerships for the development of rockets at the university. EBARA sent two engineers in September this year, beginning the joint development of a turbo pump for “ZERO”, a rocket for launching ultra-compact satellites that IST is currently developing. The goal is to launch ZERO in 2023.
For EBARA, the joint development of a turbo pump will be a strategic move toward the entry into the field of aerospace technology. Meanwhile, we will continue to develop products in the field of space transportation infrastructure and to contribute to the development of affluent lifestyles, one of the objectives in the E-Vision 2030, our long-term vision.
