Our mission

When it comes to mass production of cars, Japan is the world's number one. Now, we aim to become number one in the mass production of rockets.

At MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS (MSW), our goal is to launch an era when going to space is as easy as riding a car. We will achieve this by creating rockets that can be mass-produced just like cars.

We will facilitate the future of space exploration by revolutionizing the mass production of high-quality engines – the toughest obstacle on the launchpad to this exciting new era.

Japan has already become the world’s number one in the mass production of cars. Next, we will aim to be number one in the mass production of rockets.

Core Technology

MSW’s hybrid engine system and weldless tank technology enable the mass production of rockets.

To achieve this, we have developed a rocket engine that outperforms competitors in three key areas: safety, simplicity and cost.
