JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) have teamed up to build a “Super Hi-Vision Camera” capable of filming 4K and 8K images in space for JAXA’s Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. The MMX spacecraft is slated to be launched in 2024, with the aim of discovering the origin of the Martian moons and their evolutionary process of the Martian system.
This mission marks the first time in history that 8K ultra high definition images of Mars and its moons are captured in proximity. By combining the actual flight data of the MMX spacecraft and the images taken by the Super Hi-Vision Camera, we’ll be able to recreate Mars and its moons (the Martian system) like never before.
