Exciting news for all space enthusiasts! The "Messages to Space" collected at the JAMSS booth during the 30th Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF-30) last November are about to embark on an extraordinary journey. These heartfelt messages, stored on an SD card, will soon be launched aboard SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft (SpX-32) and are set to reach the International Space Station (ISS) the day after launch.

During APRSAF-30, held from November 26 to 28 in the vibrant city of Perth, Australia, we hosted the special Kirara campaign, "Launch Your Message to Space." This initiative gathered inspiring messages from 29 space agencies and space business professionals across Asia, including Japan. By launching these messages, we aim to support the rapidly growing space industry and ignite the imagination of future space explorers. The launch to the ISS is scheduled for April 21 or later. Let's all tune in and cheer for this stellar event!

Examples of Messages Received:
• “Hello from Earth! I hope by the time this message reaches space, I am already doing what I love to do.”
• “I love space so I’d like to be an astronaut.”
• “Good luck in your space career.”
• “Wishing all the best to everyone.”
• “Let’s open space for all.”
• “Let’s go to space! The future is waiting! Let’s mine the moon!”
• “Space for Sustainability”
• “There is no more noble pursuit than to travel the stars.”
• “Best wishes in space, JAMSS & Kirara! Cheers.”
