Studio White Fox Creates Anime Short Film for Japanese Space Agency JAXA
The satellite is a joint project between JAXA and America's NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and is planned to be launched from the Space Center at Tanegashima using a Japanese HII-A rocket. "GPM/DPR" stands for "Global Precipitation Measurement/Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar." The device will scan the entire Earth every 3 hours generating global precipitation maps.

Is it gonna be in MAL's database?
Hope it will be on there.
NASA and JAXA previously held an anime character challenge for GPM. The winning entries are here.
Is it gonna be in MAL's database?
Yes, it will. Give us time to create the entry.

I thought JAXA only existed in Robotics;Notes...
Watch Uchuu Kyoudai. It's still going on and it's a brilliant work made from the collaborated effort of NASA and JAXA.
There are tones of forced drama and stereotypes(they pictured russians as like in some cliché american movie) and the pace is too slow.

So.. What does this GPM/DPR satellite do?
Seems like it can cancel out a storm based on the short animation... but I doubt that it really does that.

I agree that Steins Gate and Jormungand's animation was not even comparable to the likes of Pro I.G, KyoAni, ufotable etc. but HaMao's animation wasn't that bad. The battle scenes were pretty good and the first episode was awesome in terms of animation. I think they can do it if they put more into it.
Anyways, cool news. I would like to know more about JAXA. I definitely think White Fox is up to it.

don't forget jormungand - i'd hardly say the animation in that was low-rent - one of the best looking shows of the past couple of years.........
Poor visual experience was one of the main reasons I dropped it.

And Why White Fox for ReWrite? Because they made animated version of OP.
And I really pissed off with people complaining that KyioAni only is fitting for making Key shows. Like no other studio could make it. Yes, they did a great job with Air, Kanon and Clannad but as they are now I won't give them any more of Key titles(and they won't take any because of their current politics "we make only titles we own", bare with it at last).
