QPS Research Institute successfully launched the first nano radar satellite.

The QPS Research Institute (Fukuoka, Japan) launched the first micro radar satellite "Izanagi" from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in India on the 11th. The satellite, which was loaded on a shared rocket, climbed to an altitude of about 570 kilometers around Australia. The satellite was detached about 17 minutes after takeoff, and the launch was a success. About 500 people, including people from local companies that cooperated in the development of the satellite and children, gathered at the public viewing site of the Fukuoka Prefectural Government. After the launch of the second satellite, Izanami, in 2020, the number of satellites will increase to 36. Using radar, the satellite will have a resolution of one meter and will be able to make observations every 10 minutes, even at night and in bad weather.

3D printer made by SLM Solutions, Germany

Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Overseas, mass production using metal 3D printers has already started, but in Japan, it is still in its infancy. In Japan, 3D printers are mostly used for prototyping and development, but not for mass production, because of the risk of internal problems during molding and the low accuracy of surface finish. Measurement and evaluation methods for processed materials have not been established in Japan. Therefore, through joint research, they will try to solve these problems.
