About the Aizu Research Center for Space Informatics (ARC-Space)
ARC-Space was designated as a joint usage / research center (the Center for Lunar and Planetary Exploration Archive Science) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in April 2019. Following the designation, the former ARC-Space (Aizu Research Cluster for Space Science) was reorganized from one of the subordinate organizations of the Center for Advanced Information Science and Technology (CAIST) into the current Aizu Research Center for Space Informatics (ARC-Space), an independent research center. The center will conduct research that leverages data accumulated in previous research on and observation of lunar and planetary probes in the field of space informatics, which integrates space and planetary science with informatics, in collaboration with other organizations such as JAXA and ICT enterprises. The center will provide its research achievements in the form of new value added data and software to scientific communities including the Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences. By doing so, the center will contribute to uncovering the origins and evolution of celestial objects in the solar system.
