Introducing the initiatives behind the man-made nano satellite "EYE," developed with the goal of creating "a satellite accessible to everyone," and the web application "EYE Connect," which connects everyone with "EYE".

◆Exhibition Introduction

◎Full-Scale Model of the Nano Satellite "EYE"

"EYE" is a satellite equipped with a camera that lets users enjoy the experience of capturing images from space.
Launched in January 2023, the exhibit will showcase a full-scale model along with its camera and onboard technology.

◎ Experience Operating "EYE Connect"

"EYE Connect" is a web application that simulates the orbital path of "EYE", allowing users to experience the view of space as captured by "EYE".
At the venue, you can enjoy a space photography experience guided by "Space something, Kotetsu-kun", a special content feature.

◎The Current State of Space Photography

We will showcase "how space has become more familiar to us today" through interviews with participants of the "Space Photography Experience" that used "EYE", and insights into the "Children's Earth Photography Project," an educational event held at six locations nationwide and concluding at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
