Welcome to the Nohmi Laboratory Homepage!

 

This website is managed by students of the Nohmi Laboratory at Shizuoka University.
It aims to share our research activities and daily student life with the public.

 

The Nohmi Laboratory belongs to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, and the Graduate School of Integrated Science and Technology (Mechanical Engineering Course), Shizuoka University.

Our main research focuses on artificial satellites and the landing dynamics of spacecraft.
In satellite development, we are developing tethered satellites.
Regarding spacecraft landing, we study cases such as the landing of SLIM.

Please watch the following video for an overview of our research.

A tethered satellite consists of multiple satellites connected by a tether (string).
You can get a better idea from the video below (please note that it is not our own video).

If you are interested in artificial satellites, please take a look at the following material.

Currently, we are developing STARS-X and STARS-Me2.
Both projects aim to conduct experiments on tether technology in space.
Project details can be found on the following websites:

Our laboratory is located on the 5th floor of the General Building.
We also have experimental facilities for development and a ground station for communicating with satellites in orbit.

Our research covers a wide range of topics, including experiments, simulations, and evaluations.

Although we cannot openly share all research details, here are a few you may find interesting:

The space field is sometimes called comprehensive engineering because it requires a wide range of knowledge.
However, not everyone works broadly; each member specializes in their own field.

We hold weekly seminars where students present their research progress. In addition to seminars, regular meetings for satellite development are also held.

 

Although we cannot post updates frequently, we will continue to update this site occasionally. Thank you for your understanding.
