Tokyo Olympic organisers on Tuesday unveiled a replica of "G-Satellite", a tiny satellite that will orbit the earth during the 2020 Summer Games. The satellite, whose payload includes miniature animation characters "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Char's Zaku", was developed in collaboration with the University of Tokyo and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The G-Satellite will be taken to the International Space Station in March and released into orbit in April.
