Product/Service - Kirara

Classification: Miscellaneous

Category: Microgravity Research Payloads
Microgravity Science
Microgravity Flight Service (LEO)

Status: Active

First launch: 2019

Kirara service is to support drug discovery through high-quality protein crystallization in space with our original small incubator unit in ICE Cubes Facility in the International Space Station.

Kirara is a reusable incubator for protein crystallisation that was developed by JAMSS (the Japan Manned Space Systems Corporation). A wide range of samples have been accommodated on the previous 3 Kirara missions flown since 2019.

The Kirara 4 project was launched with the 27th commercial resupply mission of SpaceX (SpX CRS-27) on 15/03/2023 to the ISS.

Japan's Space construction innovation project, 2021-2025

Lunar Construction Simulator
Assuming actual resource extraction sites and potential landing sites in the lunar south pole, taking into account the terrain gradient and sunlight environment.
Using the digital twin environment on the lunar surface, we will consider automating transportation, construction, assembly, startup, and operation after landing in the lunar south pole. The aim is to develop mutually with terrestrial technology by establishing automatic and autonomous technology for environments without positioning and at a high level.
Technology classification: Construction (Whole system)

Kirara#6 will be launched to the ISS in April 2025.

Vast announces 3 additional payload partners for Haven-1 Lab + signs leverage agreement with ISS National Laboratory, 2025-04-10.
