On August 3, the 2nd Kanazawa University Symposium on Space Science and Engineering Satellite Project: Past, Present, and Future was held at Kanazawa Kagekiza. 87 participants ranging from junior high school students to people in their 60s participated in symposium.
In the first part, Assistant Professor Tatsuya Sawano from Institute of Science and Engineering, Research Center for Advanced Space Science and Engineering, and Daichi Eguchi from Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology Division of Electrical, Information and Communication Engineering, and Naoki Takahashi from Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences gave presentations on the development progress and operation status of the first satellite "Koyo".
In the second part, we invited alumni who have participated in the development of the satellite in the past as panelists, and discussed how the satellite development experience is being utilized after employment of Professor Satoshi Yagitani from Institute of Science and Engineering Faculty of Electrical, Information and Communication Engineering . Next, Associate Professor Shoya Matsuda from Faculty of Electrical, Information and Communication Engineering gave a presentation on the status of the study of the second scientific satellite as a future plan for the Kanazawa University satellite project, and Associate Professor Yasuhiro Shoji from Research Center for Advanced Space Science and Engineering Institute of Science and Engineering gave a presentation on the technology demonstration satellite series "KSAT-X".
In the third part, a poster session was held to introduce the research activities of the Center. During the session faculty members and students gave explanations to the general participants.
Participants commented: "It was helpful for my college entrance examinations," "I was surprised that satellites, such as CubeSat production, are so familiar to me that they are part of my classes" and "It was very good to hear the voices of those involved in the production in the panel discussion.
