Hokkaido Aerospace Science and Technology Incubation Center ( HASTIC ) is a network of space development- related facilities and space-related university laboratories scattered throughout Hokkaido to create and start a new industry utilizing space development technology. HASTIC is a private space organization whose main purpose is to contribute to the development of space development in Japan and foster the next generation of researchers and engineers.[1]

Overview[edit]

HASTIC was established as a voluntary organization in June 2002, and was approved as a nonprofit organisation in January 2003[2] with offices in Kita-ku, Sapporo.

HASTIC conducts research and development in five main areas;

  • Sounding rocket launches[3]
