It has been confirmed that the insulated cold container equipped with the HTV-equipped small recovery capsule that our company was involved in the development completed the Earth return mission and maintained the required temperature inside the container. We are delighted that our structural analysis and other design, testing, and evaluation technologies were able to contribute to the development of a recovery capsule that will bring back to Earth the precious experimental samples created on the International Space Station.
