Hachune Miku, the chibi version of virtual idol Hatsune Miku, will be launched high into the heavens in a rocket this month.
The rocket, along with the Miku figurine, is taking part in the eXtreme Performance Rocket Ships (XPRS) contest, held by NASA in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada from September 18th to the 21st.
The project is being handled by Social Media Satellite Development Project (SOMESAT, formerly HAXA), the members all having met on NicoNico Douga, itself famous for popularising Hatsune Miku.
Somesat’s eventual aim is to launch Hachune Miku into space, though this launch will see them aim for a lesser altitude of some 2km.
The figure will showcase some technological advancement, which includes an electronic mechanism that is used to “wave” its signature “negi”.
In support of this, manga and anime legend Matsumoto Leiji has posted his own video of support for the project:
He is also creating a short Galaxy Express 999 animation featuring Japan’s space center, set to be shown on September 9th.

FINAL FORM RIDE: H-H-H-HACHUNE!!!
Miku is alien, so she's just going back to her home planet. Nothing weird about that. ^___^
I fucking hate Miku. Her voice sounds like a shit, I hate her songs and she's not even cute
you are trolling on wrong place...
no one care about your opinion...
So I dont care about if anyone sees's my opinion. I just speak my mind into a void.
Means you're not fit with virtuality, ah, that's good, because you don't have to though.
final form ride wwwwwwwwwww
Black Rock Shooter ----> "Shoots" a Hatsune Miku rocket from Black Rock Desert.
Now it made sense.
EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EWPIC
[quote from the article] "held by NASA in the BLACK ROCK Desert of Nevada from September 18th to the 21st."
I see whut u did there >:3
ah anyway, "The World" is really hers.
the Azure Knights must bow down before her
I believe it's Escape by One Room. The two songs are fairly similar sounding so it's understandably easy to mix them. Cheers.
THIS IS EPIC.
and there are actually alot of version pics like that.
GO JAPAN !! GO MIKU!!
can't wait for Final Form Ride Megurine Luka
lol
>held by NASA in the Black Rock Desert
Black Rock Shooter
2km??? PFFFFFTT WEAK! even passenger airplanes fly much much higher
I've already sent some miku merchandise into space to 124km altitude on a black brandt sounding rocket
Of course you did.
Pics or never happened.
They should go for the real deal and build a Sol Bianca. ^_^
Miku Satelite:
VOCA://HMi.HatsuneMiku.Miku/Hatsune.VOC
fuck epic!
MY LEEK IS THE ONE THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
One of these days Hachune Miku ... Bang, zoom, straight to the moon...
:P
In the video the guy describing how the rocket works, did you see the 2 boxes of Kleenex he had stored up? And at the end a small collection of his on the side, hes a true Otaku alright.
That is Leij Matsumoto.
Soon in the near future they will have tourist space stations orbiting the moon where the only way to dock with it is to have your spaceship molested by the station tentacle rape style.
With loli flight attendants, of course.
That's one step for Vocaloid, one giant leap for Vocaloidkind.
+1
Dedicated to all pioneers...
>blackrock dessert.
name the rocket BLACKROCK SHOOTER AND the win will double
Then the aliens are going to attack earth just to find her then a cosplayer would get addoutive expreimented and inpregnated to make sure the goddese of the world would have a hy-breed among us
What happen to the article about the "dpj-seeks-parade-ban-unloaded-guns-too-dangerous" ?
linkinstreet article eats articles o_o
Kamen Rider Decade parody pic FTW!!
Miku is moving on up in the world, 1st topping the record charts then being 2 stories tall and 'live' at the National Japanese Music Awards thing. Now, she is the 1st officially announced figurine rocket test pilot. To boldly go where no figurine has gone before, Miku is...
The world is hers.
...I forgot Matsumoto is still alive lol.
Holy shit. Soon we shall have satellites in the shape of anime characters.
Sanya and Eila to the space~!!
+1 internets to you, sir
Tentacle rape satellites go!
So... why are they doing this?
What a waste of a good figure D:<
Otaku auction value if she survives
fuck, I am saving money then. It will be pretty expensive.
ever know the word "MARKETING" and "PUBLICITY"??
Wow. This is epic.
The pic reminds me of how Decade turned Kiva into a bow, pretty epic D:
Same here :3
That IS the idea.
Final Form Ride M-M-M-Miku!
From ET to Martians, they will be going "That's weird"
Nah. They'll be like "That's my new target."
