(Head Office: Tosu, Saga; President: NAKATOMI Kazuhide; hereinafter " Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical") announces that "Fixpace®" proposed by Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical was selected as a daily necessity for "Ideas for addressing the issues along with the solution that will apply to both living in space and living on Earth" solicited by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (hereinafter "JAXA"), and will be used in the International Space Station (hereinafter "ISS").
■Background of Development
In the "Space Life Story Book *" published by JAXA, "reducing the loss and scattering of objects" in zero gravity space is mentioned as one of the life issues in space. To solve this issue, Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical has developed "Fixpace®" using the patch technology that has been developed over many years.

"Fixpace®" is a product to hold pens, knives or forks by simply attaching them on "Fixpace®" applied on a wall or table. In addition, "Fixpace®" can be used repeatedly since adhesive material which can be re-attached is used.
