MID Technology
MID provides optimal microscopy capabilities for satellites and other experimental platforms in space where weight and size are limited.
Life Science LAB
IDDK was founded as a biotechnology company, with a dedicated life science team in our Tokyo life science lab. A dedicated team helps coordinate and design space missions based on research ideas on the ground.
- In FY2023, IDDK and Space Forge will jointly conduct a private-sector-led demonstration of a space bio-experiment under a microgravity environment collaboration.
- A mini bio laboratory using the one-chip microscopic observation technology (MID) developed by IDDK will be integrated in Space Forge’s platform Forge-Star™. IDDK will receive funding from JAXA for a part of the developing cost for an ultra-compact 3D fluorescence microscope observation device using MID technology.
