Kawamoto Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying space debris countermeasures to protect a safe and long-term usable space environment.
AboutAbout the lab
Passing on a safe and long-term sustainable space environment to the next generation.
The Kawamoto Lab studies space debris countermeasures to protect the orbital environment around Earth.
In addition to debris modeling, mitigation, and removal, the creation of international rules is also a subject of its research.
The lab also works on space traffic management, space situational awareness, and new space systems such as large structures and tethers.
Key terms
- Space debris
- Human-made objects that remain in orbit as space junk, such as defunct satellites, parts of rockets, and their fragments.
- Space situational awareness
- The effort to understand conditions in space by observing the positions and movements of objects there.
- Tether
- A long cord or cable that connects objects to each other in space.
