UNISON

UNISON was established by UNISEC in 2003 to support Japanese students who are eager to participate in space development activities. UNISON is managed only by students.

We provide students with opportunities to participate in big projects and other activities related to space development. The opportunities enable them to exchange their creative ideas and corporate with each other. We expect that they broaden their outlooks and deepen their relationships through the opportunities.

Besides, we try to bring up those who will develop new technological fields by themselves in the future. And we hope our activities contribute to Japanese space development.
