美东时间4月8日11时17分，SpaceX猎鹰9号火箭从佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心39A发射台升空，为美国初创商业航天企业公理太空公司（Axiom Space）发射首个前往国际空间站的全私人载人航天任务Ax-1。

SpaceX private Ax-1 mission's science includes self-assembling robots and light-powered air filters

日本载人航天系统公司（JAMSS）的光催化剂空气净化装置搭载Ax-1任务，将验证改进的过滤器性能。通过改进的空气过滤器，JAMSS设备能够净化国际空间站的空气，用光将空气中的挥发性化合物转化为二氧化碳和水，提高太空生活和工作质量。

JAMSS PHOTOCATALYST, IN COLLABORATION WITH JAMSS, TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE, AND TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY

The Japan Manned Space Systems Corporation (JAMSS) photocatalyst air purification device will launch on Ax-1 for a technical demonstration to verify the performance of the improved filter. This experiment also will deploy a control device without photocatalytic LEDs, to evaluate the JAMSS photocatalytic filter. With an improved air filter, the JAMSS device will be able to clean the air on the ISS and remove cabin odor, using the power of light to safely convert volatile compounds in the air into carbon dioxide and water with the goal of improving the quality of life for living and working in space. JAMSS will be the only Japanese company with research on the Ax-1 mission.

Japan Manned Space Systems Corporation (JAMSS) Photocatalyst: An air purification device called a photocatalyst will be used for a technical demonstration to evaluate its performance. The device will use light to convert air gasses into water and carbon dioxide. Collaborators include JAMSS, the Tokyo University of Science and the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.
