    About JAXA

    JAXA is Japan's national aerospace agency, formed through the merger of three organizations in 2003. It specializes in space and aeronautics research and development.

    JAXA's Area of Expertise

    JAXA excels in space exploration, satellite technology, aeronautics, and Earth observation. It's known for its contributions to the International Space Station and the Hayabusa asteroid sample-return missions.

    A random fact that I love is...

    Did you know that JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission successfully returned samples from the asteroid Ryugu? It's the first mission to bring back samples from a C-type asteroid!
