WINDS (Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite, également appelé Kizuna) est un satellite de télécommunications expérimental japonais. WINDS a été placé sur une orbite géostationnaire le 23 février 2008 par un lanceur H-IIA tiré depuis la base de lancement de Tanegashima. Il a été mis fin à la mission en février 2019 à la suite d'une anomalie de fonctionnement du satellite ayant entrainé l'interruption des communications. Le satellite a permis de tester des techniques d'internet par satellite à très haut débit (3,2 gigabits par seconde).
