MAKING ASTRAX ACADEMY ONLINE, E-LEARNING, DIGITAL X-FORMATION, AND MULTILINGUAL

ABSTRACT

ASTRAX has been conducting a project called ASTRAX ACADEMY (Private Space Business Development and Education and Training School) in Japan since 2017 to prepare for the private space age. Until now, we have been conducting lectures in classrooms in a classroom format and using facilities such as various spaceship simulators and commercial space mission support control centers. However, due to COVID-19, it has become difficult to conduct the courses. Therefore, we have been transforming all the courses into an online format and using various existing tools to conduct the classes efficiently. In the future, we plan to make the classes digital and multilingual so that students can learn not only in Japanese, but also in various languages such as English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and so on. In the age of space travel, there will be an increase in the number of multinational people conducting missions simultaneously. The common language may be English, but if we can support various languages in the education stage, it will lead to further expansion of our services and market. To do so, we are deliberately moving in the direction of multilingual space education. In this paper, we will introduce the method of digital transformation and multilingual education that ASTRAX is planning to implement. Copyright © 2021 by ASTRAX, Inc. All rights reserved.
