The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Broadcaster NHK are developing a space camera capable of capturing images in 4K and 8K resolutions, capturing Mars like never before. Meanwhile, 8K video remains Is expensive Back to Earth, so if you’re going to get ridiculously high resolution footage, it might be something outside of this world.

In A press release Announcing the collaboration this week, Jaxa said the “super high-vision camera” will photograph the red planet and its satellites, Phobos and Dimos, as planned by the agency’s Martin Moons EX.Florization Mission. Once installed on the MMX spacecraft, it will snap images of Mars at regular intervals, transfer them partially to Earth to create a “smooth image” and store the originals in a capsule returning home.

In addition to depicting Mars, Jaxa and the NHK are helping to bring the spacecraft’s behavior back to Earth. Jaxa added that it would also help run the spacecraft.

By filming MMX’s mission on a system on Mars 300 million kilometers from Earth, Jaxa and the NHK will work together with a newly developed super-high-vision camera to convey the charm of a new horizon never seen in detail before, in a bright and inspiring way, ”Jaxa told many.

MMX will launch in 2024 and reach Mars by 2025, so it will take some time to see the 8K footage. It will help scientists to unravel the mysteries of the history of Mars with the help of detailed illustrations. Microorganisms And Water Stay on the surface of the planet. Of course, the NHK would literally walk away from dealing with some kind of footage that it did not expect to match with any other broadcaster. at this time That’s it You call this a win-win situation.
