INNOVATIVE SPACE CARRIER INC.(CHUO-KU, TOKYO; CEO; KOJIRO HATADA, HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS "ISC") IS "A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE AND CARGO ARE DELIVERED EVERY DAY. WE ARE A START-UP COMPANY THAT AIMS TO REALIZE A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT MAKES SPACE POSSIBLE, WITH THE VISION OF "MAKING SUCH THINGS POSSIBLE IN SPACE. ( REUSABLE) IS A START-UP COMPANY THAT AIMS TO REALIZE A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT MAKES SPACE POSSIBLE.
We are pleased to announce that ISC has agreed to procure additional rocket engines from Ursa Major Technologies, an American rocket engine developer, and to jointly study future engine development.
PROCUREMENT OF THE HADLEY ROCKET ENGINE FOR FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION OF THE REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE ASCA 1
Ursa Major Technologies is a rocket engine development and sales company headquartered in Berthoud, Colorado, USA.
ISC and Ursa Major Technologies held a press conference last April and have been working together to develop reusable rockets, beginning with the purchase of the HADLEY rocket engine manufactured and sold by the company.

Since rocket engines fall under Category 1 of the Missile Export Control Regime (MTCR), U.S.-made rocket engines are prohibited in principle from being taken out of the U.S. under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Therefore, U.S.-made rocket engines are prohibited from being taken out of the U.S. in principle under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
To this end, ISC established a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Sirius Technologies, Inc., and applied to the U.S. Department of State for a Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA), which would allow ISC to exchange technical information within a certain scope. In January of this year, we received approval from the U.S. Department of State for the conclusion of a TAA (Technical Assistance Agreement), which will enable the exchange of technical information within a certain scope. This will be the first time for a Japanese company to conduct a flight demonstration in the U.S. using a U.S. rocket engine.
ISC WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIRST VERSION OF THE ASCA 1 SERIES, ASCA 1.0, WITH THE GOAL OF FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION BY THE END OF 2025.
JOINT STUDY OF ROCKET SYSTEMS USING THE ARROWAY ROCKET ENGINE UNDER DEVELOPMENT, WITH A VIEW TO FUTURE LARGER AND MORE POWERFUL ROCKET ENGINES
In addition, ISC will jointly study the development of a rocket system using the ARROWAY rocket engine developed by Ursa Major Technologies.
ARROWAY" is a rocket engine being designed as a high-performance engine using a two-stage combustion cycle fueled by liquid methane. The two-stage combustion cycle is complex and requires advanced development, but it can achieve extremely high propulsion efficiency, and some U.S. startups such as SpaceX have commercialized this technology.
Ursa Major Technologies is developing rocket engines using metal 3D printing technology at its R&D center in Ohio, U.S.A. To achieve these complex and sophisticated developments, ISC has also begun developing rocket engines using metal 3D printing technology. ISC has also begun development of a rocket engine using a metal 3D printer. ISC and MHI are considering ways to improve their technological capabilities through collaboration between the two companies.
COMMENT FROM KOJIRO HATADA, CEO, FUTURE SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
I am very pleased that this agreement is the result of the technological collaboration that has deepened over the past year since the signing of the collaboration agreement with Ursa Major Technologies last April. I am very pleased to see that this agreement with Ursa Major Technologies is the result of the technical collaboration that has been developed over the past year since the signing of the collaboration agreement in April last year. We will continue to deepen our cooperation with Ursa Major Technologies and move forward to achieve our goal of flight-testing ASCA 1.0 in the U.S. at the end of this year.
