Pale Blue Commences Operations at “Tsukuba Production Engineering Base” for Mass Production of Propulsion Systems
CHIBA, Japan (Feb.10) – Pale Blue has commenced operations at the “Tsukuba Production Engineering Base” (Tsukuba, Japan) to facilitate the mass production of its propulsion systems.
Tsukuba Production Engineering Base
The Tsukuba Production Engineering Base features a vertically integrated system that centralizes the entire product lifecycle from technical development for mass production to manufacturing, final inspection, and global shipping. By consolidating key equipment, such as vacuum chambers and vibration testing tables, Pale Blue has effectively shortened lead times and has dramatically scaled production capacity. Through the operation of this Base, Pale Blue aims to promptly meet the growing global demand for propulsion systems while contributing to the sustainable development and utilization of space.
