- Abstract
The Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) was initiated by the Japan/US Science, Technology and Space Application Programs (JUSTSAP) to advance research and education in space exploration technology and systems working closely with the State of Hawaii. Hawaii has a heritage with space exploration including the training of Apollo astronauts and testing of lunar rover systems in some of the most realistic terrestrial sites available. The high altitude dry environment with greater solar radiation intensity, the lunar regolith-like volcanic ash and location make Hawaiian sites ideal to support international space exploration technology development, demonstration, education and training. This paper will summarize development and roles of PISCES in analogs, simulations, technology demonstrations, research and training for space exploration technology and systems.
