Washington, Jan 14 (Ians) The US space agency and Japan have signed an agreement that builds on a long history of collaboration in space exploration between the two nations.
From low-Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond, Japan is one of NASA’s most significant international partners.
“This latest framework agreement will allow us to further collaborate across our agencies’ broad portfolios in exploration, science, and research,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said late on Friday.
US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Japan’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Hayashi Yoshimasa signed the agreement at the NASA headquarters here.
“The future of space is collaborative. Through this agreement, our nations have strengthened our partnership in space and here on Earth. We will go farther and learn even more together,” said Blinken.

There is over 100 years of tradition behind Takarazuka-style performances, in which women play men’s roles. But if there was a metaphor for the changes wrought on the festival by two years of Covid disruptions or on Japanese entertainment by the beginnings of the #MeToo Movement, it was not clear what it was.
Rather the opening ceremony was making use of the Takarazuka Theater next door to the hyper-modern Hibiya Midtown complex which has been adopted by the festival since last year, after a move to Ginza and Hibiya from the Roppongi district.
After the Takarazuka, it was the turn of Japanese Prime Minister to give the proceedings some gravity. Still on a trip to Australia,...
