Author: Riko Watanabe

On Saturday, October 22^nd 2022 , we exhibited at a special open house held at JAXA ISAS Sagamihara Campus (Institute of Space and Astronautical Science) with members of the College of Arts and Sciences!

This time, we held a hands-on event for the game board “Ten-Koh 2 Flight Simulator,” which was created by the NU Cosmic Campus, a joint project between the Nihon University College of Art and the College of Science and Technology!

NU Cosmic Campus at JAXA Sagamihara Open House 2022

The game, created mainly by members of the College of Arts and Sciences, is a game in which the Ten-Koh 2 mission is operated with limited power, and is quite realistic.

All members of the Okuyama Lab were amazed at the quality of the game and the cool design of the game board.

The game board was so popular that many people, from children to adults, were able to try it out and even made reservations during the event!

We hope that many people were able to learn about “Ten-Koh 2” and “NU Cosmic Campus” through this game board.

The members of the NU Faculty of Arts served as game masters.

☆ Bonus☆

The lunar rover test site was open to the public!

The sunlight on the moon’s surface was reproduced, and it was very fantastic.

We were able to see many facilities that are not usually open to the public, so be sure to visit next year’s special open house!

(I forgot to take a picture, but there were food stalls selling local delicacies from various regions of Japan, and the “scallops” grilled on the shore were especially delicious! The gourmet side of the event is also perfect…!!(^^♪)
