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.
