Message

As a research institute established in July 2020, NTT Space Environment and Energy Laboratories covers a wide research scope from space to global environmental issues. We are looking for individuals who have dreams and passion for new research and eagerness to take on challenges with us.
Since many of us currently working here are also in uncharted territory, we welcome applications from those who can grow with us.
Why not join us in creating a safe and secure life for humankind through proactive environmental adaptation?

Masato Maruyama group leader

Making life safe and secure even in extreme weather or in outer space

We plan to fly drones near thunderclouds to capture lightning and guide it to desired locations to eliminate the damage constantly caused by lightning around the world and to eventually absorb the energy in thunderclouds with the aim of eliminating lightning strikes altogether. We will also evaluate the effects of cosmic rays and electromagnetic waves in outer space on the human body and equipment and set up protective barriers through powerful electromagnetic fields so that humans can safely and freely inhabit space. Let's work together to create safe and secure living for mankind through proactive environmental adaptation.
