DigitalBlast
DigitalBlast is a Japanese aerospace consulting firm focusing on the space industry in general. It provides guidance to firms seeking to enter the space sector, along with providing support for digital transformation. The company also manages SPACE Media, a news website focusing on private spaceflight. Project NOAH Project NOAH is a research and development project of DigitalBlast which aims to develop technologies that will realize a self-sustaining environment on the Moon, in anticipation of human habitats being built there in the near future. One goal of the project is to study the effects low-gravity has on plant production. The AMAZ research equipment will be the first step of this project. AMAZ AMAZ is a research equipment under development by DigitalBlast that will use centrifugal forces to create artificial gravity equivalent to the lunar surface. AMAZ will be sent to the International Space Station (ISS) and will be used to conduct research on plant growth. Experiments to be conducted by AMAZ include a study on the growth of moss in different gravity environments by Toyama University, and cultivating brewer's yeast in the gravity environment of the Moon and Mars in cooperation with the University of Tokyo and Nara Institute of Science
