NASA Hyperwall and Remote Sensing
Outreach in Japan

D

uring a student-oriented presentation at the 2019
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Symposium (IGARSS 2019) in Yokohama, Japan, Dr.
Gail Skofronick-Jackson shared NASA satellite remote
sensing examples. A program manager at NASA headquarters, Science Mission Directorate, Dr. SkofronickJackson provides scientific expertise and management
support for the Research and Analysis Weather Focus
Area. She was assisted by an interpreter, Mami Sugaya
of the Remote Sensing Technology Center of Japan
(RESTEC), who relayed eager questions from the students in addition to translating Skofronick-Jackson's
message into Japanese. Eighty 10-15-year-old local area
students and their parents were challenged to envision
the NASA contributions to, and use of, remote sensing
techniques (Figure 1).
Skofronick-Jackson'a student-oriented presentation
made extensive use of the NASA Hyperwall system. NASA's Hyperwall is a high-resolution video wall (5,760 ×
3,240 pixels) capable of displaying multiple data images
simultaneously across an arrangement of screens. The
Hyperwall is used to help explain phenomena, ideas, or
examples of world change.
Prof. Fang Shang of the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, planned and organized this special
presentation for IGARSS 2019, and it was co-organized
by Doug Bennett, a senior outreach specialist with
NASA. At the conclusion of the Hyperwall presentation,
NASA backpacks were distributed to each student.
Education cochairs, Prof. Chinatsu Yonezawa and
Dr. Aya Yamamoto, and Outreach chair, Prof. Shang, led
the successful education outreach event. In addition to
the NASA Hyperwall lessons, Yonezawa and Shang organized a classroom setting for participants where they
were engaged in hands-on activities including assemDigital Object Identifier 10.1109/MGRS.2020.2975930

bling remote sensing models. Dr. Yamamoto, an R&D
manager with RESTEC, and two support staff members
assisted with the activity.
Yamamoto first introduced the fundamentals of remote sensing, and the lesson was followed by hands-on
activities during which the students made small globes
using printed paper and Styrofoam balls (Figure 2). While
the students were concentrating on their work, mascot
characters from the city of Yokohama, including Mizukii
(the girl with the magic flower) and Kanagawa Kintaro
