About us Asahigaoka Astronomy Club

To The World’s Closest High School To Space!

In the 21st Century, with the dawn of the Space Age, the number of space startups is on the rise.

It is precisely because of this that we, as high school students, felt we could get closer to space and that is what inspired up to launch this initiative.

Our Ultimate Goal is to make our school “The World’s Closest High School To Space” through our daily activities and achievements,

And to grow our community of space enthusiasts.

★Space Balloon Project 2026

We will launch a helium-filled high-altitude balloon equipped with our own custom-built measurement and recording devices, aiming to reach the stratosphere.

This time, we will focus on wireless communication from the stratosphere and plan to launch a crowdfunding campaign to fund both technological development and launch costs. The campaign is scheduled to begin in late May. Tap(or click) the image below to read more details.
