Highlights of the Exhibition
1．Space Age of Technology
The Gundam series often depicts life in space. Various space development projects currently underway aim to advance humanity into space and make future dreams and hopes a reality through science and technology.
Various space-related technologies, such as space colonies that appear throughout the Gundam series, will be exhibited in a variety of forms with perspectives focused on “space," "environment," and "technology."
2．The Possibility of MS (Mobile Suits)
Mobile Suits expand the physical abilities of human beings in space. The technical aspects of these suits will be presented through introductions to the latest robotics technology in the form of various experiential exhibits. At the venue, visitors can enjoy actual robot operation experiences with robots that may be used in space operations or at disaster sites in the future. Visitors will also have the chance to experience operating robots inspired by the Gundam series.
3．Innovation of Future Lifestyle
This section focuses on the technology that humanity will need to live in space. We as a species must look back at the Earth's environment from the perspective of space. What can we learn from testing food and shelter-related technologies in space and how can we use the results to improve the Earth's environment? Experience a deep dive into our possibilities for the future.
