G-Satellite Tokyo 2020

Members of the media take photograph of the miniature satellites payload comprise two of Japans most popular animated characters Mobile Suite Gundam and Chars Zaku, December 3, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. The satellite will be carried to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a supply ship in March 2020 and released from the ISS into its own earth orbit in April 2020. Measuring just 10cm x 10cm x 30cm, the G-SATELLITE will orbit the earth for the duration of the Games. In addition to a cubicle housing the two animated figures, it will contain a number of small cameras which will record and transmit their images and an electric bulletin board which will be deployed once the satellite is in orbit. The bulletin board will display messages about the Tokyo 2020 Games in English, French and Japanese. (Photo by Alessandro Di Ciommo/NurPhoto)
