Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and
Demonstration Satellite "KIZUNA" (WINDS)
International Symposium
--Asia-Pacific Area Linked by KIZUNA --
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) are holding an international symposium on the Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite (WINDS) on February 4 (Thu,) 2010, at the Science Hall in the Science Museum. The symposium has been titled "Asia-Pacific Area Linked By KIZUNA."
Since its launch two years ago, "KIZUNA" has been conducting various demonstrations to establish satellite communication technology that can be applied to our social life. The demonstrations includes a live relay of high definition images of a total sun eclipse, the largest this century, from Iowjima Island; emergency communications at the time of a disaster; and a real-time relay of high definition images of the deep ocean sent from a vessel.
At the symposium, we would like to report our demonstration achievements and discuss proposals and expectations for future KIZUNA use by inviting demonstration participants from the Asia Pacific region, which is KIZUNA's communication area. The public is also welcomed to join us at the Symposium.
