Are You Ready To See Mars In Ultra HD 8K? Japan’s Plans To Take ‘Super Hi-Vision’ Cameras To Space - Forbes

JAXA’s Martian Moons eXploration mission will seek to recreate the mission Ultra HD 4K and 8K video.

A joint venture between the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Japan’s state broadcaster NHK—which pioneered HD and Ultra HD TV technology and broadcasting—will jointly develop a “Super Hi-Vision Camera” capable of filming both 4K and 8K images for JAXA to take to Mars.

Its new camera will go to Mars in 2024 as part of JAXA’s Martian Moons eXploration mission.

It will be the first time that 8K Ultra HD images of Mars and its moons are taken in proximity. .
