Areas of specialization
Laboratory/research office Space and Earth Exploration Systems Laboratory
With developing of new exploration methods for unknown regions spread in space and on the Earth, thus increasing knowledge of human habitable environment on our living planet of the Earth, we are studying on topics deeply concerned with difficult problems as space exploration, disaster prevention, and energy consumption, etc. to be solved in near future. In particular, we are developing self-control and low-energy-consumption exploration systems aboard balloons, rockets, and satellites, with working capabilities under severe environmental conditions with practical flight experiments as well as developing useful sensors available on regional disaster prevention.
