Aerospace School

What is Aerospace School?

Aerospace School is a residence-type program for high school students.
The participants tackle “space and aeronautical missions” cooperatively.

Visit JAXA institutions and experience the “front line” of space aeronautics!

The Space Education Center supports and creates learning opportunities for students and educators both domestically and internationally.

In JAXAʼs Aerospace School program, high schoolers live and work as a team for several days in space center facilities across Japan.

The program brings students into direct contact with working members of the Japanese space program, state- of-the-art research facilities and spacecrafts, and authentic experiences that emerge from working with other teens that share their passion.
