"JAXA i" in Marunouchi OAZO Building closed on December 28, 2010. Thank you very much for your support.
The displays at JAXA i are divided into two zones. The first zone from the entrance to the reception desk covers a permanent exhibition corner and a display space for special events. The zone is designed to promote interest in aerospace activities by displaying familiar themes such as "Earth to Space" and "Aerospace Technologies that are Useful for Daily Lives and the Open Lab." The other zone, from the reception desk to the mini-theater, provides the latest information through panels and Internet terminals that aim to provide more information about JAXA including its popular missions.
JAXA i staff can assist you with the exhibition as well as sincerely answer your questions.
At the mini theater, JAXA's image software is run on the screen. Programs are updated every week, and beautiful images of the Earth taken from the Space Shuttle are also shown in between programs.

A popular attraction among the displays at JAXA i is the "LE-7A" engine, the first stage engine of Japan's flagship launch vehicle "H-IIA." Its size is very overwhelming! The most favorite display at present is a very precise replica of a space suit placed in front of the engine. The suit is extremely popular as it is the only place in Japan where you can put your face in the suit to take a commemorative photo.
When an H-IIA Launch Vehicle is launched, a live broadcast is shown at the OO square on the first floor of Marunouchi Oazo.
