Delighted to have Ambassador Osawa swing by and meet with us at Zenno @arshavsky
Embassy of Japan, New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇨🇰 🇳🇺@AmbassadorofJa1
Ambassador Osawa was impressed by one of the latest developments of the space engineering. He visited ZENNO Astronautics in Auckland, a developer of superconducting electromagnet technology for more efficient and precise satellite operation. 🛰️ Actually, Zenno has some connection with 🇯🇵: (1) the core material of their technology, superconducting tape is made by a Japanese manufacturer (2) Zenno is partly funded by Japanese companies. 🛰️ Look, compared to a conventional copper coil (upper), their superconducting electromagnet (lower right, of the same magnetic power) is much smaller and lighter, as Ambassador shows in the picture. 🛰️ He hopes this technology will be utilised for the development of space industry, including Japanese satellite companies.

We've recently secured investment from All Nippon Airways (ANA Holdings) and Mitsubishi Electric, facilitated through Japan's top VC firm, Global Brain.
This investment enables Zenno Astronautics to fully deploy Z01, marking it the world's first superconducting product designed for use in space.
Superconductors will revolutionize how humanity utilizes space resources, directly in space, thereby reducing our dependency on Earth. This step is crucial for expanding life into the cosmos.
Currently, we face three primary challenges:
1. Dependence on finite, Earth-derived fuels for space transportation: This restricts the extent and sustainability of space travel.
2. Radiation damage to electronics and human tissues: This limits our ability to maintain a continuous human presence in space.
3. Our inability to conduct routine and reliable in-space operations: This includes tasks like the assembly of structures, satellite servicing, and debris removal, which are essential for long-term space habitation and operations.
