Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency was created on 2003-10-01.
Chiaki Mukai Mukai has logged over 566 hours in space and became an astronaut for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in 1985.
NASA's main partners for the International Space Station (ISS) are the Russian space agency Roscosmos, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Together, they collaborate on operating and maintaining the ISS for scientific research and space exploration purposes.
Tokyo's outer space program is primarily represented by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). JAXA conducts various space missions, including satellite launches, international collaborations, and research in space technology. The agency plays a significant role in Japan's contributions to space exploration and scientific research.
Yes, NASA's Messenger spacecraft was the first to orbit Mercury. The European Space Agency's BepiColombo mission, launched in 2018, is currently en route to Mercury for a joint investigation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
The acronym IKAROS stands for Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun. IKAROS is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency experimental spacecraft. The space craft was launched on May 21st 2010. It is the first spacecraft to successfully demonstrate solar-sail technology in interplanetary space. IKAROS passed by Venus on December 8th 2010.
No. BepiColombo [to be launched in 2014 by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)] will orbit Mercury in 2020, and possibly dispatch a landing vehicle. Mercury has no atmosphere, so landing on it isn't as easy as simply deploying a parachute as was the case with Titan (Saturn's largest moon). The BepiColombo Mercury Surface Element (MSE) has been canceled due to budget constraints.

It's European Counterpart is the European Space Agency (ESA) It's Japanese counterpart is the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) It's Indian counterpart is the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
There are many space agencies in the world,but the main six are NASDA(Japanese agency),ESA(European space agency),PKA(Russian agency),CNES(French agency),MOA(Chinese agency),NASA(American agency).
Astronauts are chosen by the various space agencies around the world. Examples include NASA in America, or the China National Space Administration or the European Space Agency or Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and many others. Within these agencies there would be people in charge of astronauts which would include things like recruiting astronauts and training them.
The concept of a solar sail was proposed by physicist Johannes Kepler in 1610. However, the first successful demonstration of a solar sail in space was the IKAROS project by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in 2010.
