Message

Established in July 2020, the NTT Space Environment and Energy Research Laboratory is a totally new laboratory that conducts research on a broad scale encompassing outer space and the Earth. We are looking for talented individuals with vision and the passion to take on new challenges as a team member.
We are currently exploring unknown domains, so if you are someone who would like to grow with us, we look forward to hearing from you.

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.
