Why should you care about Space?<\/h5>\n
\n
Kyushu U Connect is back again this year, and we’re taking you out of this world with the theme of ‘Space.’ Kyushu U’s extensive history in space and aeronautics can be traced back to before the very first space age. It was all the way back in 1937 when the the Department of Aerospace Engineering was established, the second ever aeronautics department in Japan. The 21st century has brought about a new space age. As humanity comes to grips with the existential threat of the climate crisis, we continue to look to the stars to explore the depths of the universe and human potential. So, we ask you today: Why should you care about space? We will cover everything from space weather, space debris, building materials for space, and the literature that inspires us to the stars. Join us with Kyushu U faculty, students, and science communicators for an afternoon of bilingual exploration beyond mother earth.<\/p>\n

Presenters
\nBio-inspiration for Aerospace Engineering\u202f
\nProfessor Fujio Tsumori (Faculty of Engineering)\u202f
\nYou may be wondering why ‘life’\u202fis in the title of this\u202ftalk about aerospace. Is knowledge from\u202fliving organisms useful in machine engineering? Let’s all think about it while talking about biomimicry.\u202f<\/p>\n

The ionosphere: where surface weather meets space weather\u202f
\nAssociate Professor Huixin Liu (Faculty of Sciences)\u202f
\nIonosphere is the upper part of\u202fEarth’s atmosphere, whose existence is critical for wireless communication and global navigation. I’ll briefly introduce its discovery and basic structures, then give some examples of its variabilities that we call space weather and their societal impacts. I will also touch on space weather forecast at the end.\u202f<\/p>\n

Extraterrestrial Human Life: Imagination and Reality\u202f
\nAssistant Professor Britton Brooks (Faculty of Languages and Cultures)\u202f
\nThis talk will explore how literature has imagined human life in space, and how such stories both create and are created by the scientific and physical reality of living away from the earth.\u202f
\n\u202f
\nSpace Debris: Closer and Safer Space\u202f
\nThree students from Professor Toshiya Hanada lab (Faculty of Engineering)\u202f
\nShun Isobe, Kenta Nakajima, Ai Hayashibara, Kajikawa Takumi
\nBecause it supports our daily lives, we have become very familiar with our current space age. But that\u202ffuture is threatened by space debris! Let’s discuss how the Hanada Lab\u202fis confronting the space debris problem!\u202f<\/p>\n
