<< Status of Hands-on Space Education in Japan >>
Proposed by Prof. Young-Keun Chang, Hankuk
Aviation University as a good example in APRSAF countries,
we'd like to introduce in this homepage an activity of the
University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC) and the
Space Educational in Tokai University (Tokai Student Rocket
Project (TSRP) in Japan.

<< Follow-ups to APRSAF-9
>>
The members have been actively exchanging information and suggestions.
After the KOREA meeting, the following actions have been taken.
I myself first circulated the information on NASA education,
which has enormous number of education materials.
I have communicated Mr Padmasiri de Alwis (Sri Lanka) who has
a lot of education materials. He gave us some information on
the material.
Space weather CD ROM which was originally made for education
in Europe by Dr Jensen of Germany was distributed to the members
upon request.
Prof. Chang proposed to encourage the University Space Consortium
to promote the space technology for education. This should be
a good idea. At least the APRSAF home page might report on the
activity of UNISEC so that Asian countries take this as a model.
In Japan, quite many education-related activities are being
conducted such as cosmic college at Tsukuba, four days education
at ISAS and so on.

<< Result of APRSAF-9 >>
At APRSF-9, the Space Education and Awareness Working Group
(WG) consists of participants (See below)under its own concept
(See below).
At the working group, the following presentation were made and
discussed based upon them:
| · |
“The Status of Space Education and
Awareness in Korea” by Prof. Young-Keun Chang (Hankuk
Aviation Univ., Korea) |
| · |
·“ Space education with prefectual
education committee” by Mr. Tomohiro Ichikawa(JAMSS,
Japan)·“Education and Awareness Short Presentation”
by Mr. De Alwis Sanath Padmasiri (Ministry of Science
and Technology, Sri Lanka) |
| · |
“ Proposal of RS/GIS Education/Training
and Related Activity at Asian Inst. of Technology”
by Prof. Michiro Kusanagi (AIT) |
| · |
“ Eduspace, The European Earth Observation
Website for Secondary Schools” by Mr. Bigot Jean-Charles(ESA) |
As the result of discussion at WG, the recommendations were
proposed as follows:
| a. |
The importance of information materials,
|
| b. |
Distant education and caravan type of space
technology promotion to be considered, |
| c. |
Small satellites such as pico,nano and
microsatellites are useful tool, |
| d. |
The fundraising is required to execute
the agenda. |
