- Space suits, which are also made by Russia, must shield humans from massive change in temperature and protect them from nuisances such as meteoric stones.
- The agency aims to develop the new space outfit in time for the US manned mission to the Moon due in 2018, the first since 1972.
- A special team of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has launched a feasibility study due to be completed by March.
- "We believe that Japan has strong points in terms of technologies related to the development of space suits," the official said.
- "We also hope that the development of our own space suit will help us expand our own space activities," he said.
- Japan has boosted the budget of its space program but has seen a series of setbacks.
- Last month a spacecraft failed on its landmark mission to collect samples from an asteroid.
