04 / VALUE

Creating New Value Standards

Create new measures of value from space.

Research results from space should not remain achievements that belong only to space.

That is another important role of LVNS SPACE PROJECT.

Placing products and technologies in an extreme environment allows us to reconsider the value we have taken for granted on Earth from a different perspective.

Food, beverages, cosmetics, living environments, healthcare, and materials.

By scientifically evaluating the performance that is truly needed in space, we can define new standards of safety, comfort, functionality, and reliability.

We then return those standards to products and industries on Earth.

Our goal is not to make products for space. We use space to question the value of products on Earth.

MODEL EXPLAINED / 読み解き

Use space data to redefine the value of products on Earth

We revisit values taken for granted on Earth across food and beverages, cosmetics, living environments, healthcare, and materials. We turn hypotheses into evaluation methods, then connect them to standards that products and society can use.

Illustration of new value standards
ILLUSTRATED APPROACH / LVNS SPACE PROJECT
INPUT Product value a company wants to revisit
  • Taste
  • Sense of comfort
  • Safety
  • Quality of life
  • Functionality
  • Durability
01

Form a value hypothesis

We break down the value of a product or technology and turn the space-based question into a research theme.

OUTPUT
  • Value hypothesis
  • Research theme
02

Evaluate in space

We design the experiment, establish data acquisition and evaluation protocols, and scientifically capture the difference from Earth.

OUTPUT
  • Experimental data
  • Evaluation method and metrics
03

Implement in Earth products

We translate the findings into standards and product requirements, connecting them to development and social implementation.

OUTPUT
  • New value standard
  • Product development roadmap
OUTPUT Product value redefined from space
  • Scientific evaluation standards
  • Implementation in products and services
  • Differentiation for Earth products
TEAM DESIGN

Roles that connect value to society

Leave a Nest Research Producer

Designs themes, recruits researchers, and leads the program

Universities and researchers Scientific Partner

Creates hypotheses, experiments, metrics, and research results

Company Product Owner

Provides the product, customer, and implementation perspective
