GITAI Announces Space Robotics Technology Demonstration Outside ISS

Published

on

TORRANCE, Calif., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Space robotics startup GITAI will demonstrate the capabilities of their autonomous robot mounted external to the International Space Station (ISS) on the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock in 2023.

 

■ Details of the GITAI ISS Technology Demonstration outside ISS
GITAI first demonstrated their robotic technology on board the International Space Station (ISS) in 2021 in collaboration with Nanoracks, meeting all mission objectives. As the next challenge, GITAI’s extra-vehicular autonomous robot will be deployed externally on the Bishop Airlock in 2023.

In this technical demonstration, GITAI’s 1.5m-long autonomous dual robotic arm system “S2” seeks to autonomously execute In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing in the vacuum of space.

GITAI has already successfully tested this same model autonomous robot in the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) 8m class thermal vacuum chamber in February this year. The autonomous robot then reached NASA’s Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 following this ground system test.  By demonstrating this technology in space, GITAI aims to achieve TRL Level 7 (confirmation of the feasibility of the technology as a system in space).

GITAI will establish the In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing capabilities cultivated through this technology demonstration and with the goal to provide it to the US private space stations and orbital services providers.

■ Joint announcement from GITAI and Nanoracks
“There are a tremendous number of applications in space that our robotic arm can be used for, including on-orbit servicing and lunar exploration, and we are thrilled to be able to partner with Nanoracks yet again,” said Sho Nakanose, founder and CEO of GITAI. “Our vision is to provide a safe and affordable means of labor in space, and this opportunity on the Bishop Airlock brings us one step closer to making that happen.”

“This mission is a key stepping-stone towards commercialization of LEO enabling both government and private sectors to obtain robust and high-performance robotics in space,” said Amela Wilson, CEO of Nanoracks. “We look forward to completing a successful demonstration of GITAI’s space robotics technology.”

■ About GITAI’s business activities
GITAI continues to develop space robotics actively, applying the space robotic technologies obtained through the successful technical demonstration in the ISS last year, as well as the extra-vehicular technical demonstration outside of the ISS planned in 2023.  Based on the space-proven technology acquired by the demonstrations in space, we have been contracting various customer missions, such as joint development with TOYOTA Automobile and orders from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. We opened a new office in Los Angeles, CA, for GITAI USA, Inc., and started full-scale recruitment in the United States. We are also actively collaborating with US government institutes and private companies in the US.

■ About GITAI
GITAI is a space robotics startup that aims to provide a safe and affordable means of labor in space and reduce operational costs in space by 100 times.  GITAI aims to provide highly capable, safe, and reliable robots to help build and maintain satellites, lunar bases and even cities on Mars. GITAI is bringing together the best talents in the world to make this dream a reality.
GITAI is actively seeking highly motivated engineers and business development professionals to support these many endeavors. If you think you have what it takes, come join us to send robots to the final frontier.

Launches CADX Stablecoin Backed by $50 Million in Canadian Assets

CALGARY, AB, May 21, 2025 /CNW/ – Transactix Financial Inc. launched a new type of digital currency, linked to the value of the Canadian dollar, that gives businesses, consumers, and financial partners a secure, efficient, and programmable way to make and accept payments and settlements. Called CADX™, this financial innovation is engineered to bring the speed and versatility of blockchain technology to payments. The company debuted CADX at Consensus 2025 this past week and enabled participants to purchase lattes with it at the conference.

CADX is a Canadian dollar-backed stablecoin – a type of cryptocurrency that mitigates volatility by having a reserve of a sovereign currency, in this case the Canadian dollar to support the value of the cryptocurrency. CADX is fully backed by $50 million in Canadian assets. It will be delivered to the market using Transactix’s advanced Stablecoin-as-a-Service platform, an innovative infrastructure that has already supported more than $100 billion (US) in global digital transactions.

“CADX is more than a digital asset—it’s a catalyst for financial innovation in Canada.” said Transactix CEO Ali Abou Daya. “By combining robust asset backing, regulatory compliance and advanced technology, we are empowering Canadians and our partners to participate in the digital economy with extraordinary confidence.”

Others in the Canadian digital payments system are lauding CADX.

“The launch of CADX is a meaningful step toward a more competitive digital payments ecosystem in Canada,” said Alex Vronces, Executive Director of Fintechs Canada. “Stablecoins offer a credible alternative to legacy systems. When they’re built to be secure, low-cost, and compliant, they can expand choice and shift power toward users—something our financial system sorely needs.”
