When you think of the International Space Station (ISS), you might picture astronauts in lab coats conducting science experiments. But thanks to Japan’s KIBO Studio, the ISS has also become a platform for art, education, and cultural exchange.
The Space Frontier Studio KIBO, led by Masayoshi Boku and developed by Bascule Inc., is part of a unique JAXA initiative that transforms the Japanese Experiment Module into a broadcasting studio orbiting Earth. Since Expedition 63 and through many more including 75, KIBO Studio has hosted a wide range of creative endeavors—from live-streamed art performances to student-centered educational broadcasts.
This experiment redefines how we connect with space. Instead of being limited to scientists and engineers, KIBO opens a window for the public, especially students, to experience the wonders of space in real time. By broadcasting from the ISS, it sparks curiosity, ignites imagination, and inspires future explorers.
The technology behind KIBO Studio includes real-time video capture, robotic cameras, and seamless ground-to-orbit communication systems. It transforms a high-tech lab into a vibrant media studio, where astronauts and artists become co-creators.
More than just a science tool, KIBO Studio plays a vital role in public outreach and educational missions. It encourages students to think creatively about space, combining STEM and the arts—what we now call STEAM education.
KIBO Studio is more than a project; it's a movement to make space accessible, relatable, and inspiring for everyone on Earth.
