百束 泰俊
Yasutoshi Hyakusoku CSTO
When I was a child, I saw the film Apollo 13 and was fascinated by the ingenuity and spirit of challenge of people working in space, so I became a JAXA engineer. Through the development of several Earth observation satellites, I came to realize that Earth observation data (smart big data) should be more useful to society, but that it is not yet being utilized to its full potential.
Just as my own feelings have gradually changed from "space as a dream" to "space as useful to society", it can be said that space big data has now become a driver for solving social problems and evolving human life.
As a bridge between technology and society, I would like to work with various people to create an exciting future.
Joined the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2004. He is an expert in Earth observation satellites, having been involved in the entire development process of the GPM main satellite for precipitation observation and the IBUKI-2 satellite for greenhouse gas observation as a JAXA employee and was stationed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. While specializing in project management of large-scale systems, he also creates business ideas by utilizing various earth observation data including satellites developed by himself.
