For space technology education, we developed a CubeSat ground model and used it in a production course for students at the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN). The Model CubeSat is designed to make it easier for high-school students to assemble all constituent parts and customize the model. Considering the flexibility to adjust the contents for competitions, the Model CubeSat has a size of about 13 cm cube, is an autonomous device with solar panels, rechargeable batteries, and has long distance wireless communication tools from ZigBee. In this paper, we explain the development of the CubeSat ground model and report the results of its production course.

In this paper, we briefly introduce the result of the Human Resource Development program conducted in 2014-2016 under the collaboration of eight colleges. As a result of this program, Tokuyama College has considered a new program for application in an actual college class. A combination of experimental and laboratory classes can be expected to cultivate a student's engineering ability in terms of Engineering Design Education.

For space technology education, we performed the first CubeSat ground model competition for KOSEN (National Institute of Technology) students in Japan, using a newly developed Model CubeSat. Based on the actual operation of the satellite, the events of the Model CubeSat competition were designed to focus on three important subsystems-the electrical power, attitude control, and communications systems. In this paper, we outline the results of the Model CubeSat competition for KOSEN students and discuss the educational merits and further improvements to spread the Model CubeSat competition nationally.

This paper describes the “2016 KOSEN Space Camp,” which is an introductory education program on space technology for students enrolled at the various KOSEN colleges of technology in Japan. The camp was conducted twice, the first time on September 3–6, 2015 and the second time on September 1–4, 2016 at the Marine Park Niihama. Approximately 40 students and more than 10 teachers participated in the camp on each of the two occasions when it was held. The activities in the camp included a lecture by an eminent scientist; the study of basic rocket theory; model rocket experiments; and the development, analysis, and presentation of CanSat satellite model experiments. This unique education program provided by aerospace scientists and engineers is a KOSEN concept and product.

Disturbances in space environment around the Earth (Geospace disturbances), which are driven by the solar activities, are causes of spacecraft anomalies, radiation hazards of astronauts and aircrews on polar route, problem of navigations and HF communications, and induction current in long-line power cables. To mitigate the risk of geospace disturbances, improvement of operational space weather forecast with high precision based on numerical forecast scheme would be important. However, the poor observation points in geospace prevent us to introduce numerical forecast scheme with data assimilation technique which was common in terrestrial weather forecast. To breakthrough this situation, we are planning to develop a space environment sensor package, which can contribute to safety operation of the micro satellite itself, and to realize low-cost global monitoring of space environment based on constellation of micro satellites. Space weather observations by several tens of micro satellite constellation enables us to narrow down the sensor performance of single satellite. The optimization strategy of sensor performance for further miniaturization and power saving can accelerate mountability of the package. Based on this approach, it is expected that numerical forecast scheme with data assimilation technique will be introduced for operational space weather forecast in the future.

CanSat is a fake artificial satellite to learn a coordinated operation with various subsystems which makes up an integrated satellite system. In order to apply the CanSat to an actual curriculum to be invoked at Tokuyama College in 2017, a prototype CanSat is developed in 2016. The CanSat has basic bus systems including, power, structure, communication, thermal control, attitude control and data handling systems. In this paper, we introduce the basic function of this CanSat and discuss the prospective application to the actual engineering design education.

In context of the Engineering Design Education, actual lunar exploration mission “Unprecedented Zipangu Underworld of the Moon Exploration (UZUME) project” has strong potential to be applied to Project Based Learning (PBL) program in the Engineering Design Education. In this paper, we introduce student's experience for a conceptual design of lunar exploration mission and discuss its educational effectiveness. Through participation to the Satellite Design Contest, it is confirmed that students can acquire integrated ability of engineering subjects and that process of proposal is quite consistent with concept of the Engineering Design Education. In particular, merging of many engineering subjects and long-term group work are quite effective to cultivate student's engineering design abilities.

Myanmar is the largest country by geographical area in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Its history and culture are greatly influenced by its neighbors - India and China - which represent two of the world's great civilizations and also two of the world's most populous nations. Its geographic location at the intersection of China and India makes it well positioned to resume its traditional role as a regional trading hub and a key supplier of minerals, natural gas, and agricultural products. Myanmar is currently in a transition from a centrally directed economy to a market-oriented economy, and from 60 years of conflict to peace in its border areas. In this report, we outlines current situation of, and issues within Myanmar and it's Engineering education.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

6th Spacecraft Enivironment Symposium (February 29-30, 2009. Kitakyushu International Conference Center)It is important for spacecraft operation to make a forecast of high-energy electron flux at geosynchronous orbit. Because enhancement of high-energy electron flux often causes deep electrical charging. This study to predict a critical enhancement of high-energy electron flux at geosynchronous orbit using the neural network. The program of neural network is tested using the several kinds of input data and various numbers of middle layers. As a result, the prediction efficiency is improved by combining solar wind data and ground magnetic data as input data compared to that by only solar wind data or ground magnetic data. This result indicates that combining solar wind data and ground magnetic data is effective for improvement of the predictive efficiency.Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations
