 n\nMicro/nano/pico-satellites are now making a big game change in the fiel
 d of space utilizations with their ultra low-cost and quick development fe
 ature. The University of Tokyo (UT) has been conducting research and deve
 lopment of such satellites since 2000\, and already launched and operated 
 successfully 11 satellites including the world's first 1kg CubeSat in 2003
 .  This workshop will highlight the history of UT’s satellite developme
 nt activities and gives an overview on how we educate students in the fie
 ld. Important topics such as improvement of survivability in space\, att
 itude control\, and recover from critical situations will be covered in t
 his workshop. The University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC)\, a
  university community in Japan to encourage such student activities\, wi
 ll be introduced and how it is now becoming an international organizatio
 n (UNISEC-GLOBAL) will be described. Basic satellite technological issue s
 uch as radiation environment\, basics of orbital mechanics\, mode transfer
 \, and satellite operation will be lectured.\n\nAgenda:\n\n09:00 - 10:00: 
 Attitude control basics for micro/nano/pico-satellite (including CanSat)\
 n10:15 - 11:15: Satellite design basics for such satellite\n11:15 - 12:00:
  Additionnal Q&A session\n\n14:00 - 15:00: Orbit mechanics and orbital des
 ign basics\n15:15 - 16:15: Considerations for survivability and flexibilit
 y for such satellites\n16:15 - 17:00: Additionnal Q&A session\n\nProf. Nak
 asuka graduated from University of Tokyo in 1983 and got Ph.D in 1988.  H
 e joined IBM Research during 1988-1990\, and then worked for Department of
  Aeronautics and Astronautics\, University of Tokyo as a lecturer in 1990\
 , as an Associate Professor in 1993\, and became a Professor in 2004.  Hi
 s major research areas include guidance\, navigation and control of spacec
 raft\, applications of artificial intelligence to space systems\, and nove
 l space systems. He developed and launched the world first 1kg CubeSat in 
 2003\, and since then successfully launched eleven micro/nano/pico-satelli
 tes.  He lead the governmentally funded “Hodoyoshi Project” during 20
 10-2014 to establish an infrastructure of developing and utilizing micro-s
 atellites\, and because of its excellent outcomes\, he received “Prime M
 inister Award” in the 3rd Space Development and Utilization Award coordi
 nated by Cabinet Office of Japan.  He is a member of JSASS\, SICE\, and I
 AA\, and the former Chairperson of IFAC Aerospace Technical Committee and 
 current president of UNISEC-GLOBAL.  He has been a member of Space Policy
  Committee of Cabinet Office since 2012\, and played the central role to e
 stablish the current basic plan of Japanese space policy issued in January
  2015.\n\nFor organization purpose\, we kindly ask you to register HERE\nP
 lease note that the registration is free of charge and there's no limit to
