At the Daimon booth, we offered a hands-on experience of piloting the YAOKI lunar rover and introduced YAOKI’s challenges and business activities for lunar exploration to many visitors while they saw the actual vehicle.

We have reported on our participation in the ISIEX 2023 International Space Industry Exhibition, which was held for the second time this year and was approximately three times the size of last year’s exhibition. We received a number of enquiries as a result of this exhibition, and we can sense that expectations for the space business are growing.

Through Project YAOKI, we will encourage many companies to enter the space business and contribute to the development of the space industry. If your company is interested in going to the moon with us, please feel free to contact us.

I want to be the first Japanese space suit designer. I happened to watch Mr. Nakajima introduce YAOKI on TV a few years ago, and came across his lecture at the 2021 Cosmo girl's online event, and that time! I was secretly impressed. After that, I was able to help out at Dymon and show up at workshops, events, etc.
