‘Chikyu TV’ to Respond to Growing Interest
In 2010, the number of visitors to the open house events of CHIKYU exceeded 100,000 in total. We are thrilled to know that a lot of people express such interest in CHIKYU. However, in the past it was difficult to show the public how CHIKYU conducted drilling operations, that is, its on-site work at sea. So, in 2010, we started a new initiative, called ‘Chikyu TV’. Its purpose is to realistically convey the situations of scientific drilling, what kinds of things are going onboard CHIKYU, through videos sprinkled with expressions and actual voices of scientists and engineers. Thanks for everyone’s support, ‘Chikyu TV’ has been so popular as to get 120,000 ～ 130,000 visitor number per month. We hope to continue to put effort into such promotional activities so that a lot of people may deepen the understanding toward the activities of CHIKYU.
