Takasago Thermal:HAKUTO-R, partner agreement: Lunar/hydrogen/oxygen production experiments

“Takasago Thermal Engineering” / “ispace”

Signed a corporate partner agreement for the world’s first private lunar exploration program “HAKUTO-R”.

Takasago Thermal Engineering will collaborate with HAKUTO-R on heat utilization technology and water electrolysis technology.

Lunar environment: hydrogen / oxygen production experiment

The world’s first demonstration experiment of hydrogen / oxygen generation in a lunar environment.

The lunar exploration mission in 2023 aims to equip the Lunar Lander with a “water electrolyzer”.

Installed “water electrolysis device”:

“Water” is a valuable resource that is said to be billions of tons per month.

Hydrogen and oxygen can be extracted by electrolyzing “water”.

Use these as energy.

Ispace Inc .: Comment from CEO Takeshi Hakamada

Our future vision focuses on lunar water resources development.

“Technology for actually decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen” is extremely important.
