The "HTV-mounted small recovery capsule (HTV-R: H-II Transfer Vehicle-Return)" equipped with Shinwa Controls' straight-type direct-acting solenoid valve (trademark name: Propellen) successfully returned to the Earth's surface on November 11 (Sunday), after which an evaluation was conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). On November 27, 2018 (Tuesday), a press release was held at JAXA's Tsukuba Space Center, showcasing the capsule body and other components of the technology demonstration for the small recovery capsule mounted on the HTV, which was retrieved from off the coast of Minami-Torishima. During the Q&A session of the press release, the success of the project was reported. Furthermore, we received feedback from JAXA stating that our solenoid valve (trademark name: Propellen) "operated without any issues." We feel that our technology and products have achieved significant results in aerospace projects.
