Fukoku rises as JAXA selects company for space strategy fund project
Fukoku Co.,Ltd. <5185> traded firmly. After the close of trading on the 24th last week, the company announced that its proposed technical topic "Vibration damping mechanism usable across wide temperature ranges" has been selected for the technical development theme "SX (Space Transformation) Core Area Development Research" under the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Space Strategy Fund project, which is viewed as positive news.
The research aims to establish vibration damping solutions applicable to satellites, rockets, and lunar exploration missions. Based on the company's track record in developing vibration damping technologies for rockets and artificial satellites, Fukoku will build vibration damping functions that can consistently protect onboard equipment from launch environments to orbital conditions. The company also aims to establish vibration damping technology that functions even in extreme environments such as cryogenic temperatures and high radiation, which are difficult to address with conventional rubber materials.
