QPS Holdings <464A>, Astroscale Holdings <186A>, Axelspace Holdings <402A> and other space development-related stocks are soaring sharply with buy-heavy opening indications. On the afternoon of the 1st U.S. Eastern Time (around 7:40 a.m. Japan Time), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched a lunar exploration rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As part of the "Artemis Program" aimed at returning humans to the Moon, this mission will not involve a lunar landing, but has attracted significant attention as the first crewed lunar exploration in approximately half a century. The launch was successful, and the mission will now execute a lunar orbit lasting about 10 days before returning to Earth. Following the successful rocket launch, investment flows are accelerating in the Tokyo market, centered on space-related venture companies.
