In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hamilton Sundstrand, Sumitomo Corporation and SCOA began to do more business in aerospace products. Sumitomo Corporation and SCOA helped Hamilton Sundstrand market and sell its products and technologies to Japanese industrial companies like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) and IHI Aerospace during that period. Soon, the Aerospace Group at Sumitomo Corporation and SCOA felt that a closer relationship with Hamilton Sundstrand was warranted. So in 1994, United Technologies, Sumitomo Corporation and SCOA formed HSSSI as a company within Hamilton Sundstrand. At present, Sumitomo Corporation and SCOA are a 20% shareholder of HSSSI. Since it began, HSSSI has seen consistent growth and high sales volume.The recent addition of HS Rocketdyne ensures that SC and SCOA will now share that business as well. Mr. Ogawa said that NASA’s recent announcements concerning the U.S. space program’s intentions have been encouraging. “HSSSI’s strategy is to follow what the U.S. is foreseeing and to be proactive,” Mr. Ogawa said.“The U.S. government’s intention is to go back to the moon and to go to Mars; these projects require water, air and power.That's why HSSSI added the HS Rocketdyne business to HSSSI – to provide that power.” HSSSI also provides the spacesuit for the Japanese Weightless Environment Test System (WETS) where astronauts do training before their missions. HSSSI has also been working closely with Japanese companies on the Japanese Experimental Module (JEM) for the ISS, named Kibo. Measuring about 25 feet in length, it contains 5 laboratories, an attached exposed exterior platform for experiments as well as logistics transport vehicles. HSSSI has also teamed up with Oceaneering International for the completion of the next generation of spacesuit. With joint ventures such as HSSSI, Sumitomo Corporation of America carries on its commitment to expansion of opportunities, on this planet and beyond. While the future of humans in space continues to fascinate the public, SCOA can look to the night skies, and truly see the future among the stars.
