Open House General Event finished successfully

We held an Open House General Event on April 21st at Kakuda Space Center. Though it had been snowing since the morning and it was a very cold day even in spring, as many as 1,302 people visited our center.
Some facilities that are private generally, such as the High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel (HIEST) and the Combustion Wind Tunnel, were opened to the public. Many visitors also enjoyed events like the “Count down experience of a rocket launch”, “the Astronaut screening test!” and so on.
Thank you very much for joining us. The next Open House Special Event is scheduled in Autumn. We hope to see you again.
