The Strategic Headquarters for Space Development (Japanese space agency) has informed the Japanese government intends to send a satellite to the biped robot in 2020.
Specific details of the mission, including the budget and the technological demands for compliance, will be determined over the next two years by a special cabinet, responsible for the strategic development of space research. The development of a biped robot is part of the lunar new and ambitious plans for the Asian country to mark a new direction in its policy space. In a second step will be considered the joint exploration of the Moon with the participation of robots and humans.
The Japanese agency also recommended the promotion of research in military satellites, especially an early warning system to detect launches of ballistic missiles and technology to detect and analyze radio waves sent into space.
The progress of China and especially the launch of the satellite to North Korea that the Japanese accused of being in reality a test of long-range missiles, are behind this Japanese initiative.
