ERRAI wins JPY1m grant for lunar gamma-ray instruments
The Kyoto University startup is developing ETCC measurements for lunar resource exploration.
ERRAI Corporation has won a JPY1 million encouragement award in The Senshu Ikeda Bank, Ltd.’s 22nd Innovation Research and Development Grant programme, announced on March 2.
The selected project develops gamma-ray measurement instruments for lunar resource exploration using Electron Tracking Compton Camera technology. Kyoto University and Kitasato University are listed as collaborators.
ETCC tracks recoil-electron trajectories to determine where incoming gamma rays originate. ERRAI develops gamma-ray cameras for applications including radiation monitoring, nuclear medicine and space research.
