Clothing Onboard the International Space Station (ISS)
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been working to improve the quality of life (QOL) of Japanese astronauts during their ISS missions by having products developed and manufactured by private companies placed on the ISS as everyday items. In this initiative, STYLEM and Sony Group jointly proposed loungewear and innerwear from the Triporous: Space QOL Series, fiber infused with Triporous. These products were used on the ISS by actual Japanese astronauts.
