Tokyo University and Adsol Nisshin Collaborate for Space Data Exploration Program

Tokyo University and Adsol Nisshin Collaborate for Innovative Space Data Exploration Program

In a groundbreaking initiative, Adsol Nisshin Corporation and the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo will launch a hands-on program entitled "Space Data Exploration Program" on July 25 and 26, 2025, in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. This program aims to introduce high school students and above to the practical applications of satellite data, fostering the next generation of talent in the field of space and IT.

The Concept Behind the Space Data Exploration Program

Since 2022, Adsol Nisshin has been collaborating with the Space Robotics Lab at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Engineering, focusing on the intersection of satellite data and artificial intelligence (AI). The joint research program aims to cultivate "space IT talent" and has actively supported university courses that utilize AI and IoT technologies. This innovative program represents a next step in encouraging high school students and others to engage with satellite data and its numerous applications.

Satellite data has the potential to revolutionize several sectors, including agriculture, disaster resilience, climate change strategies, and urban planning. However, its importance often runs under the radar compared to more glamorous aspects of space exploration such as rocket launches and moon missions. The Space Data Exploration Program seeks to demystify this field, offering participants hands-on experience in data analysis through real-world use cases.

The program will help students comprehend the societal significance and future prospects of satellite data, encouraging them to broaden their interests and career possibilities. By doing so, the initiative aims to contribute to the development of talented individuals who will thrive in various sectors using space data.
