Description

Sony is partnering with the University of Tokyo and JAXA to develop and operate the satellite and ground systems as well as commercialize the space inspiration project.

Capturing the Earth and stars from space with flexible camerawork

This will be the STAR SPHERE project’s first satellite launched to unleash space perspectives and make them available to everyone. By using the shooting simulator and operating the satellite with simple controls while viewing live images in real time, users will be able to capture the Earth’s expressive landscapes and stunning scenery, sunrises as seen from space, and diverse vistas of the Earth, Moon, and stars, with free control over the composition, camerawork, and camera settings.
