| Abstract |
WINDS (nickname: Kizuna) is a collaborative Japanese broadband communication technology mission within the "i-Space" project of JAXA/NICT (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency/National Institute of Information and Communications Technology). The objective is to advance information and telecommunications and network technologies to a next-generation level by demonstrating in geostationary orbit technologies necessary to construct the spaceborne ultra high-speed global fixed wireless communications networks (Ka-band).
The i-Space initiative of JAXA and NICT is to explore various applications of satellite communications in a broader context, to maximize the space infrastructure of the next generation whose construction is in progress.
