Asian Try Zero-G 2023

Exciting space experiments proposed by youth in the Asia-Pacific region.

Mission: Design Microgravity Experiments

What is Asian Try Zero-G (ATZG)?

Asian Try Zero-G is a competition created by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that invites youths and young scientists/engineers from the Asia-Pacific region to design and submit proposals for simple microgravity experiments which are novel and creative. Selected proposals will be performed by JAXA astronauts onboard the Japanese Experiment Module “KIBO” on the International Space Station. The demonstration of the space experiments will be broadcasted live and transmitted to JAXA’s ground station at Tsukuba Space Center, Japan. Since 2011, over 150 proposals have been submitted from countries e.g. Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Australia.
