JUSTSAP-PISCES Symposium Hiloton Wikoloa Village, Novemver 10, 2008 JUSTSAP Japan Association YEAR IN REVIEW Osamu Odawara Tokyo Institute of Technology
Changes with a New Space Law A new space law framework work was approved on 12th of June. Major structural change in Japan's space program from "strictly peaceful purpose"(1969) to "national security" Strategic Space Development Headquarters was organized in August. New Space Agency organized within one year from "MEXT" to "Cabinet" Space Basic Plan will be established on May, 2009. Commercial-based space technologies promoted from "development" to "need and utilization"
Science and Technology Basic Plan Japanese goal as a national strategy: To become an advanced science-and-technology-oriented nation The First Basic Plan for FY1996 – FY2000 R&D to meet social and economic needs Basic research to create intellectual assets The Second Basic Plan for FY2001 – FY2005 Contribution to the world by scientific knowledge creation and utilization Sustainable development with international competitiveness and ability To secure safety and quality of life The Third Basic Plan for FY2006 – FY2010 S&T to be supported by public and to benefit society Emphasis on fostering human resources and competitive research environments
