Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 24, 2025

New Zealand-based Zenno Astronautics (Zenno) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ANA Trading to introduce Zenno's superconducting space technologies to the Japanese market.

ANA Trading, a division of Japan's premier airline conglomerate ANA Group, is leveraging its aerospace expertise under the group's strategic initiative, "Next Stop, Space," to explore space-focused opportunities. As part of this collaboration, ANA Trading will facilitate the adoption of Zenno's Z01 superconducting magnetic torquers, which are designed for precise satellite positioning, across Japan's growing space sector.

Zenno's Z01 technology can cater to a wide range of satellite sizes, from 50kg small satellites to structures as large as space stations. This capability meets the evolving demands for in-orbit repositioning to optimize the commercial utility of satellites.

The partnership also paves the way for introducing additional advanced technologies to enhance the competitiveness of Japan's space industry. This forward-looking collaboration is expected to unlock new possibilities and drive innovation in the region.

Zenno CEO and co-founder Max Arshavsky shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: "We are excited to be part of the Japanese space ecosystem with our partnership with ANA Trading. This collaboration will accelerate our growth in the Japanese market and supports Zenno's vision to build for life in space.

"Our mission is to create enabling and highly scalable technologies that will allow humanity to prosper in space without dependence on Earth's resources, such as the need for fuel, radiation shielding, and frequent resupply of spacecraft in orbit."

Zenno's superconducting magnetic torquer showcased at ISIEX 2025

ANA Trading will feature Zenno's Z01 superconducting magnetic torquer at the ISIEX 2025 International Space Industry Exhibition. The event will take place from January 29 to 31, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, South Hall, running daily from 10:00 to 17:00.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 24, 2025
NASA's OSIRIS-APEX (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security - Apophis Explorer) spacecraft has successfully completed its second perihelion passage, reaching within 46.5 million miles of the Sun - between the orbits of Mercury and Venus - without exceeding its heat tolerances. On January 23, 2025, the mission team finalized its review of data collected during the solar pass. "There were no surprises, and the spacecraft is operating well," said Mike Moreau, deputy pro ... read more
