Experiment Access Platform Development

Design the best way for each research project to reach space.

There is no single way to conduct an experiment in space.

Researchers can access orbital experiments such as the ISS, along with a growing range of short- and long-duration opportunities.

The important question is not how to go to space, but how to

choose the space environment that best fits the research objective.

MODEL EXPLAINED / 読み解き

Turn research requirements into the best space experiment plan

We organize the research objective and conditions, then compare multiple space experiment opportunities using the same criteria. The function is not simply to reach space, but to choose the place, timing, and method that best fit the research.

Illustration of experiment access platform development
ILLUSTRATED APPROACH / LVNS SPACE PROJECT
INPUT Company or researcher research theme
  • Research objective
  • Required space environment
  • Experiment duration
  • Payload and sample conditions
  • Recovery or crew-operation needs
01

Define research requirements

We clarify what the research needs and translate it into requirements for the space environment.

OUTPUT
  • Research requirements
  • Priority of experiment conditions
02

Survey opportunities

We map orbital experiments such as the ISS, along with short- and long-duration opportunities.

OUTPUT
  • Candidate opportunities
  • Payload and operation conditions
03

Compare and evaluate

We compare scientific fit, technical feasibility, timing, recovery, and operational conditions side by side.

OUTPUT
  • Comparison result
  • Recommended access method
04

Build the implementation plan

We specify what will be done, when, and how within the selected opportunity.

OUTPUT
  • Space experiment access plan
  • Next implementation actions
OUTPUT A space experiment access plan fit for the research
  • WHERE / where
  • WHEN / when
  • HOW / how
  • WHAT / what to experiment

HOW WE PROCEED

PROCESS

  1. 01Research theme
  2. 02Define research requirements
  3. 03Survey space experiment opportunities
  4. 04Compare and evaluate
  5. 05Select access method
  6. 06Implementation plan
  7. 07Space experiment

IN PRACTICE

What we compare

  • 01Timing
  • 02Experiment duration
  • 03Payload size
  • 04Recovery conditions
  • 05Cost
  • 06Launch frequency
  • 07Risk
  • 08Alternative opportunities

We do not simply choose a way to go to space. We choose the space environment that best fits the research.
