Japan’s space agency and national broadcaster teamed up to develop a camera that will capture the first-ever ultra-high-definition images of Mars and its moons in proximity.

日本航天局和日本国家广播公司合作开发了一款相机，该相机将捕获火星及其附近卫星的第一张超高清图像。

JAXA’s Martian Moon eXploration (MMX) mission, expected to launch in 2024, aims to explore the origin and evolutionary process of the Red Planet and its moons, Phobos and Deimos. By probing the Martian Sphere, scientists hope to solve the mysteries of planetary formation in the Solar System and improve technology for future exploration-including round-trips between Earth and Mars.

JAXA的火星卫星升空任务(MMX)预计于2024年启动，旨在探索红色星球及其卫星Phobos和Deimos的起源和演化过程。 通过探测火星圈，科学家希望解决太阳系中行星形成的奥秘，并改善未来的探索技术，包括地球与火星之间的往返。

None of that would be possible, though, without the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) and its Super Hi-Vision Camera. Placed aboard the MMX spacecraft, NHK’s shooter will snap photos at regular intervals, sending partial images back to Earth while storing the original data in MMX’s return capsule, scheduled for reentry in 2029.

但是，如果没有日本广播公司(NHK)及其超高清摄像机，这些都将是不可能的。 NHK的射手被放置在MMX航天器上，将定期拍摄照片，将部分图像发送回地球，同时将原始数据存储在MMX的返回舱中，计划于2029年重新进入。

“JAXA and NHK aim to visualize the actual behavior of the spacecraft with the Super Hi-Vision Camera, providing a high level of reality by combining the 4K/8K images and MMX’s flight data,” according to an agency press release. “These can also be used for the operation of the spacecraft.”

代理商新闻稿说： “ JAXA和NHK旨在通过Super Hi-Vision摄像头可视化飞船的实际行为，通过结合4K / 8K图像和MMX的飞行数据来提供高水平的真实感。” “这些也可以用于航天器的操作。”

The Japanese organizations have been working together to deliver images of space development since 1992, broadcasting from the Endeavour Space Shuttle, Kaguya lunar orbiter, International Space Station, and Hayabusa2 asteroid probe.

自1992年以来，日本组织一直在合作提供太空发展的图像，这些图像来自奋进号航天飞机，神谷月球轨道飞行器，国际空间站和Hayabusa2小行星探测器的广播。

“By filming MMX’s mission in the Martian system, 300 million kilometers away from Earth, with the newly developed Super Hi-Vision Camera, JAXA and NHK will work together to convey the appeal of a new horizon that has never been seen in detail before, to many people in a vivid and inspiring way,” the agency said.

“通过与最新开发的Super Hi-Vision相机一起拍摄MMX在距地球3亿公里的火星系统中的任务，JAXA和NHK将携手合作，传达一个前所未有的新视野的魅力，以生动和鼓舞人心的方式吸引了许多人。”该机构说。
