March 27 4:01 with four goals, such as contribution to disaster countermeasures and scientific exploration
The draft “Basic Space Plan”, which outlines the basic policies of the country's space policy over the next 10 years, has been formulated. In addition to ensuring security in space, there are four goals that contribute to the country, such as contributing to disaster countermeasures and scientific exploration. I understood that it was raised.
The "Space Master Plan" shows the basic policy of the national space policy, and the subcommittee of the Space Policy Committee has drafted a new "Space Master Plan" for the next ten years.
Among them, the goals to contribute to the nation are to secure security in space, to contribute to countermeasures against frequently occurring disasters, and to achieve global results through scientific exploration, In addition, I realized that there are four pillars to achieve economic growth and innovation.
As specific measures, in the disaster countermeasures, we will use a quasi-zenith satellite to distribute information when communication on the ground is cut off, and use an information collection satellite to quickly grasp the damage situation.
Also, in scientific exploration, the government will take strategic steps, such as by participating in the U.S.-based lunar exploration plan to secure the opportunity for Japanese astronauts to play an active role and demonstrate their presence as a space advanced nation. It states that we will proceed.
In order to boost economic growth, the company plans to increase procurement from private companies such as venture companies. This plan is expected to be further reviewed by the Space Policy Committee, etc., and will be decided after soliciting public input.
