IRES: Participation in an International Student Satellite Project at KIT in Japan

Oise-0826431(Wang，J.J.？弗吉尼亚理工大学)IRES：参加KIT在日本的一个国际学生卫星项目。弗吉尼亚理工大学(VT)和日本九州理工大学(KIT)开展的为期三年的国际学生研究体验(IRES)合作研究项目每年将资助六名美国本科生和研究生，每人在KIT花费三个月的时间参与一个卫星项目。美国学生将与KIT学生一起设计、建造、测试和操作微型卫星。卫星任务将调查太空中的材料退化，验证用于微型卫星的CMOS相机模块，并从轨道上拍摄高分辨率的地球图像。该项目代表着美国学生首次与太空任务直接相关的全面国际合作，并将为参与者提供空间探索的全球视角。与会者将向从事航天器环境相互作用和卫星设计工作的科学家和工程师广泛传播他们的研究成果。

OISE-0826431 (Wang, J.J. ? Virginia Tech) IRES: Participation in an International Student Satellite Project at KIT in Japan. This three-year International Research Experience for Students (IRES) collaborative research project between Virginia Tech (VT) and the Kyushu Institute of Technology (KIT) in Japan will annually support six U.S. undergraduate and graduate students each spending three-months at KIT to participate in a satellite project. The U.S. student participants will work with KIT students to design, build, test, and operate a micro-satellite. The satellite mission will investigate material degradation in space, validate a CMOS camera module for use on micro-satellites, and take high resolution images of the Earth from orbit. This project represents the first ever comprehensive international collaboration for U.S. students directly related to a space mission, and will provide the participants with a global perspective in space exploration. The participants will broadly disseminate their research findings to scientists and engineers working on spacecraft environmental interactions and satellite design.
