Partners

JAOPS is engaged with several entities around the globe to participate in the development of safe operations contributing to the Social Development Goals. 

We bring our expertise to the space community through congresses, workshops, and events. 

Moon Village Association (MVA)
MVA is an NGO that fosters cooperation for existing or planned global moon exploration programs.
JAOPS is an Institutional member of MVA since 2023.

Meridian Space Command
Meridian Space Command is a UK-based organization supporting the growth of the space technology sector, headquartered at Space Park Leicester, an advanced space science and innovation hub. Meridian focuses on the provision of Mission Support & Mission Education; transforming earthbound visions, into space-faring realities!

Asterial ART
Asteria ART collaborates with industry experts and researchers globally, utilizing expertise in AI, computer vision, and data science to develop systems that can interpret and interact with various types of media and environmental data. The company aims to apply these advancements not only to enhance Asteria’s own product suite but also to make a broader impact across sectors by bringing state-of-the-art recognition capabilities into commercial products and industry settings​

3IPK
3IPK is a technology company that develops blockchain-based solutions to enhance data integrity, authenticity, and traceability in high-stakes industries, especially aerospace and supply chains. Founded in Slovakia and now also operating from France, 3IPK creates products that leverage blockchain to maintain data transparency, verifiability, and resistance to tampering.

Space Robotis Lab
The Space Robotics Laboratory, led by Professor Yoshida, is dedicated to the research and development of the robotic systems for space science and exploration missions. The lab has contributed to the Engineering Test Satellite-VII (launched in 1997 for orbital robotics experiments) and "Hayabusa" asteroid sample-return probe (launched in 2003 and expected to return in 2010). Today one of our focuses is put on the mechanics and control of lunar exploration rovers. Technologies for remote planetary exploration (such as mapping and localization in the unstructured environment, rough terrain mobility, and teleoperation with time delay) can also be applied to the robots for search and rescue missions.

Dymon

is a Japanese robotics and space technology venture pioneering the development of ultra-compact lunar rovers, including "YAOKI," the world’s smallest privately funded lunar rover. Headquartered in Tokyo and led by CEO Shinichiro Nakajima, Dymon is committed to advancing lunar exploration, terrestrial robotics, and educational initiatives. Its first lunar mission, "Project YAOKI 1 (PY-1)," was operated on the surface of the Moon in March 2025, becoming the first privately funded rover to explore Moon’s south pole. Backed by strategic investments, including a 140-million-yen funding round in 2023, Dymon continues to push the boundaries of space innovation and exploration.
