N1 - Funding Information:
Recently, human space activities, such as lunar exploration and habitation, have attracted widespread interest. To enhance human space activities, especially for long-distance missions, improving the technologies needed to live in space environments for long periods is essential. Many of these technologies overlap with terrestrial habitation technologies. The Tokyo University of Science (TUS) has established the Research Center for Space Colony (RCSC), funded by the Private University Research Branding Project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Although no individual department at the TUS has focused on space technologies thus far, TUS is home to many researchers studying myriad basic technologies. By effectively combining these technologies with space habitation, we hope to contribute to the expansion of human space activities. In this paper, we outline the structure and plans of the RCSC.
