JAXA Global
Japan’s official hub for space missions, launches, and aerospace research.
JAXA Global is the English-language site for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, covering its space, aeronautics, research, and international collaboration work. It provides mission pages, press releases, launch schedules and records, educational links, digital media archives, and entry points to JAXA data and research resources.
Why it stands out
- Authoritative source for Japan’s national space and aeronautics programs rather than secondary coverage.
- Combines space exploration, satellites, launch vehicles, human spaceflight, aeronautics, and R&D under one agency portal.
- Includes region- and theme-based views of JAXA’s international cooperation work, not just mission announcements.
- Provides direct pathways to specialized JAXA directorates, archives, research repositories, and project sites.
Good to know
- Coverage is centered on JAXA and Japan-related aerospace activity, so it is not a general space-news or global mission-tracking portal.
- Some resources are spread across separate directorate, project, archive, and data sites, so deeper research may require following multiple links.
- Data availability, formats, and access rules vary by mission or linked database.
Under the radar: Use “Topics in Your Area” when researching international cooperation; it surfaces JAXA mission examples by region and development theme that are easy to miss from the main mission list.
