Amateras Space Inc. Aims to Realize Domestically Produced Lunar Spacesuits by 2035
Amateras Space Inc. announced its goal to realize domestically produced spacesuits for lunar use by 2035. This technology is envisioned not only for space but also for terrestrial applications as 'human augmentation devices' for daily wear.

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to announce dreams. This press release is the dream of "Amateras Space Inc."
Our Mission is to "expand the realm of human activity." The core technology supporting this realization is the spacesuit.
Amateras Space aims to realize domestically produced spacesuits for use on the moon by 2035. Simultaneously, the technologies cultivated through spacesuit development—environmental control/life support, thermal control, body protection, biosensing, and comfort optimization—will be deployed to Earth from a dual-use perspective, evolving spacesuits into "human augmentation devices" and then into "everyday wear." We do not view spacesuits as mere protective gear for space. A spacesuit is the ultimate human augmentation system that enables humans to perform safely, comfortably, and with high performance even in environments where they cannot naturally survive. We believe that this technology will be refined precisely because it targets the extreme environment of the moon, and at the same time, it will hold new value in terrestrial society.
■ Aiming to realize domestically produced lunar spacesuits by 2035
Human space development is now entering a new phase with the progress of the Artemis program, private commercial space stations, and advancements in transportation and space infrastructure. In Japan, the development of the "Lunar Cruiser" by JAXA and Toyota is progressing, accelerating infrastructure development for human lunar activities. Among these, spacesuits are a core technology for humanity to operate, work, and live in space. On the moon, it is necessary to cope with harsh environments such as vacuum, extreme temperature differences, regolith, radiation, and physical stress, requiring an advanced safety design that integrates protective performance, safety, mobility, thermal control, and long-duration operability.
Amateras Space challenges itself to realize this spacesuit originating from Japan. Our company participates in the foundational theme related to human space development of the Space Strategic Fund, establishing a system to seriously engage in human space development. We believe that the realization of domestically produced lunar spacesuits will not only enhance Japan's international presence in human space exploration but also become an important technological foundation supporting future human space development.
■ Another axis is to expand spacesuits into everyday wear
Amateras Space views spacesuits not as mere protective gear for space, but as human augmentation devices that integrate thermal control, life support, materials, and sensing. Among these, a significant potential lies in the terrestrial deployment of cooling underwear, also used in spacesuit technology. In spacesuits, cooling technology that efficiently recovers heat from the body is indispensable for achieving both safety and comfort. We believe this technology is also effective for terrestrial challenges such as heatstroke prevention. Especially in high-temperature/radiant heat environments, workplaces requiring protective or sealed clothing, and environments with limited air circulation, fans and Peltier devices often have limitations. In such cases, water-cooling technology has a significant advantage in its ability to directly and stably recover heat from the body. Going forward, we will evolve the technology to include fit, comfort, mobility, bio-information-based control, weight reduction, and power saving, and promote its social implementation as a "wearable thermal control system." Furthermore, by integrating with advanced material technologies such as smart textiles, we will deploy technologies refined in space to Earth for dual-use, reaching areas such as high-temperature environments, disaster sites, disaster prevention, medical care, manufacturing, construction work, well-being, and longevity.
■ Refined in space, delivered to Earth. And back to space again.
