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

OISE-0826431 (Wang, Joseph J., University of Southern California) IRES：参与日本KIT的国际学生卫星项目。这项为期三年的学生国际研究经验（IRES）合作研究项目由南加州大学（USC）和日本九州理工学院（KIT）合作开展，每年将支持六名美国本科生和研究生在KIT学习三个月，参加一个卫星项目。美国学生参与者将与KIT学生一起设计、建造、测试和操作一颗微型卫星。卫星任务将调查空间中的材料退化，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。该项目代表了美国学生首次与太空任务直接相关的全面国际合作，并将为参与者提供太空探索的全球视角。与会者将向从事航天器环境相互作用和卫星设计的科学家和工程师广泛传播他们的研究成果。

OISE-0826431 (Wang, Joseph J., University of Southern California) 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 University of Southern California (USC) 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.
