Our compact and lightweight pump has been adopted for the NASA's device for analyzing monolayer liquid crystal formation and defect generation mechanisms in a microgravity environment.
In order to realize a liquid crystal display that can be used in outer space, as part of the "Oasis" project, which was experimented on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015, research was conducted on the formation of single-layer liquid crystals and the mechanisms of defect occurrence in a microgravity environment that is difficult to replicate on Earth. Our company's compact and lightweight pumps (syringe-type and tube-type) were installed in the experimental apparatus. [Challenges and Solutions] In 2008, NASA contacted our company because they were looking for pumps that were as small and lightweight as possible, given the need to transport them to the International Space Station (ISS) via rocket and the limited experimental space within the station. After undergoing various long-term verifications, including ground experiments and microgravity experiments using aircraft, the specifications of the pumps within the apparatus were adjusted, leading to a successful launch and experiment. Equipment used for space experiments requires thorough miniaturization and lightweight design to reduce launch costs. Of course, quality and precision cannot be compromised. We received high praise for our ability to flexibly respond to numerous verification results while continuously providing high-quality products.
