The first ISTS was celebrated in 1959. The 33rd ISTS was held in conjunction with the 10th Nanosatellite Symposium (NSAT) and the 14th IAA Low Cost Planetary Mission Conference (LCPM) in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, from February 28 to March 3, 2022.
The theme of this ISTS is “Beppu in Oita: Beautiful Harmony of Earth and Space for Sustainable Future”. By “Earth” we are strongly aware of the ideal way of eco-conscious Energy Mix such as geothermal power generation being operated in this prefecture, and the economic activities directly connected to our lives. And by “Space” we are aware of new space business using ultra-small satellites and the expansion of the human frontier through space exploration. The sustainable future development of humankind will be realized by beautifully harmonizing these two concepts and I would like to share this theme with every participant of the ISTS in Beppu, Oita.
The Symposium, which originally started with an educational purpose to provide an opportunity for students who cannot easily go abroad, has probably grown to become the second largest international Symposium in the field of space with about 1,000 presentations. Researchers, engineers and related personnel from all over the world in space engineering and science, space medicine, space law and other related fields participated in this Symposium. In addition to collaboration with the Nanosatellite Symposium and the IAA Low Cost Planetary Mission Conference, these are international scale events in Japan.
The Okuyama Laboratory participated with the following 3 presentations:
*Taichi Murakami1, Keiichi Okuyama1, Rafael Rodriguez1, Hideaki Hashimoto1 (1. College of Science and Technology, Nihon University)
