JAXA aims to continue contributing to diversity by conducting sign language tours at special open led by volunteer members.

At the Sagamihara/Tsukuba special open, volunteer members will introduce the appeal of JAXA with a sign language tour.

JAXA continues to conduct sign language tours led by volunteer members at special open in Sagamihara and Tsukuba. We have been introducing sign language tours at Sagamihara special open since 2009, and from 2022 we have added a mystery-solving element to allow all visitors to experience sign language. In Tsukuba, we have set up a section where people with hard hearing can casually ask questions and answer questions about space in sign language, and we are implementing a project where sign language tour participants with they can have fun and learn about JAXA's projects and space science.

Toward promoting JAXA's diversity measures

In 2024, not only Sagamihara and Tsukuba, but also a sign language tour will be held at a special open at the Misasa Deep Space station in Nagano prefecture, and the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences, which is scheduled to be held in Hyogo prefecture, is also tentatively implementing SDGs, and within JAXA We are going to introduction the attempt that we are using to enable hard hearing employees to work energetically.
