The first JAXA astronaut recruitment in 13 years has finally been announced. By maximizing the use of corporate know-how and technology in the recruitment, selection, and training processes, JAXA is aiming to develop a new business in the future, such as the selection and training of private astronauts. This session will discuss the possibility of this, including an introduction of the features of this recruitment. *After this session, a question-and-answer session on the details of astronaut recruitment and operations will be held at the venue.
