Headquarter:3519 Arimatsu Midori-ku Nagoya Aichi 458-0924, JAPAN Location R&D center:1-27 Minatohonmachi Hekinan Aichi 447- 0844, JAPAN Foundation May 30, 2007 Capital 7.96 million USD Representative Shuji Ogawa Employees 31 (including seconded employees) Spaceplane design, development and manufacturing Core business Commercial human spaceflight and related operations Commercial space launch service (including space port) PD AeroSpace is developing a reusable winged rocket (space plane). We are looking forward to maximize space utilization through private sector demand such as space tourism and construction of a space based solar power grid. Our key technology is combustion mode switch engine have both a jet mode and a rocket mode propulsion. (patented in 2012) We are supported by ANA HOLDINGS INC., HIS Group and some Venture Capitals. Additionaly, accepting employees seconded from the IHI Group and TOYOTA Group and proceeding with business reviews. 2 Corporate Profile n Founded in 2007 n Based in Nagoya and Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture Shimojishima Nagoya city ★Toyota city Hekinan city Aichi pref. 3 New Base HQ:Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture R&D Center:Hekinan City Central Japan International Airport 4 Company Mission “ Be a wing for Space” There are so many amazing possibilities in space, waiting to be discovered and understood. Perhaps, a new kind of resources or energy source is just around the corner. Space also enables us to reflect upon ourselves and Earth, to deeply understand the preciousness of life and nature. There are and will be challenges never seen or predicted during our journey to reach the stars. However, we chose to take upon this challenge, because we believe humanity can earn so much from space exploration. In order to bring space closer to us and, PD Aerospace will continue to pursue the challenge to become the wing for space transport industry. 6 Corporate Philosophy and Policy Corporate Philosophy - Contribute to society with technology. - Maintain harmony with space, the Earth, nature and humanity. - Become a company that society wants to exist, a company that clarifies the significance of itself through its activity. Policy - Start from an indomitable challenge spirit. - Create your own path when there is none. - Innovate rather than improve. - Know that time and workspace is limited, and act. 7 Team staff Biography Born and raised in Nagoya.
