From the JUSTSAP to the PISA Osamu Odawara, Tokyo Institute of Technology Japan-US Science, Technology, and Space Application Program Pacific International Space Alliance
JUSTSAP ( established in 1990 ) A venue for a wide range of people-to-people communication where individuals from the industry, government and academia get together and exchange ideas and thoughts frankly for serving as a safety valve in space exploration Why JUSTSAP? The trade legislation of the USA called Super 301 against Japan asked to open the market such as satellites for application of government programs Space development activities between the USA and Japan have been based on the friendship and cooperation such with the development of the INTELSAT system

JUSTSAP has played a valuable role in establishing an unfettered international proposal group on the science, technology and space programs assembling experts from both public and private sectors in Japan and United States plus Canada, Europe and other nationalities.
What s Changed Since 1990 Now there are many countries with active space programs. Of the countries with current missions, five are located around the Pacific Rim. There are scores of entrepreneurial space companies, tourism is building and prizes are being offered for commercial missions. The Space Station s life will be extended to 2020 and perhaps 2025, offering ample opportunity for microgravity, commercial and space exploration projects. Now, from the JUSTSAP to the PISA Pacific International Space Alliance
SHIMOJI AIRPORT UTILIZATION PLANS Non-decision on the use of Shimoji Airport (used as a training base by Japanese commercial airlines) and surrounding land of some 550 hectares after the fiscal 2015 Okinawa Prefecture officials announced that they would accept plans for the land from companies both in and out of Japan; Applications have been accepted until the end of 2014, and now be gathered 10 proposals. New Bridge between Miyako and Irabu Nine years in the making, a new bridge connecting Miyako and Irabu Islands is set to open on 31 st of January, 2015. Shimoji airport is the best civil airport in the region, equipped with a 3,000- meter-long, 60- meter-wide runway, a 30-meter-wide taxiway and other necessary facilities and installations.
IRENA: International Re-Entry demonstrator Action http://www.irena-project.eu IRENA mainly aims at: - creating a cluster of European and international stakeholders to study two types of demonstrators aimed at developing entry/re-entry technologies and suitable for other enabling technologies - jointly defining two technology demonstrator projects relevant for international cooperation - contributing to a European position for ISEF and - disseminating the results and preparing the next steps.
