The lab studies fuels that propel rockets and space probes.
AboutAbout the lab
Rocket fuel, starting from chemistry
The Habu Lab studies fuels (space propellants) that propel rockets and space probes.
Propellants often use substances with large amounts of energy, so knowledge of how to handle them safely is essential, not just performance.
The lab broadly investigates the chemical properties, combustion behavior, and stability of fuels and their raw materials, aiming to apply the results to space science exploration and space development.
The lab is located at the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, and graduate students are enrolled in the University of Tokyo's graduate school, where they receive research supervision.
Key terms
- propellant
- A substance that a rocket or spacecraft burns or expels to gain the force it needs to move
- plasma
- A state in which a gas is given a large amount of energy, causing its atoms to separate into electrons and ions
ResearchResearch themes
The Habu Lab researches and develops space propellants suited to propulsion technology for rockets and space probes. It gathers broad knowledge on the chemical properties, combustion behavior, and stability of fuels, and aims to apply the results to space science exploration and space development.
