Japan Advances University-led Microsatellite Constellation[/size]
By Paul Kallender-Umezu
TOKYO — A Japanese government-funded consortium of universities aiming to launch a constellation of scientific microsatellites starting in 2012 is looking for Asian partners to join the program, according to project leaders.
The University International Formation Mission (UNIFORM) project was established in Japan this summer and formally announced in November at the 17th Session of Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum in Melbourne, Australia.
At its core, the UNIFORM project aims to field a functional satellite constellation and ground station network that will yield usable data at a fraction of the price of commercially built satellites. More broadly, project organizers expect UNIFORM to energize Japan's capacity for building microsatellites and spread that know-how throughout Asia through international cooperation, according to Hiroaki Akiyama, a professor at Wakayama University in western Japan, which is leading the project in conjunction with six other Japanese universities.
"UNIFORM is about microsatellite community building," Akiyama told Space News Dec. 1. "We will build a closely bonded network of microsatellite technology, microsatellite people, and microsatellite utilization. It is one of our purposes to initiate a paradigm shift in the space business model which only succeeded with stationary satellites in the past. This network has the potential to change the space industry in the near future."
The UNIFORM consortium aims at initially launching groups of 50-kilogram-class satellites in pairs or clusters in 2012 and 2014 to build a constellation capable of frequent revisits for Earth observation or atmospheric monitoring missions, Kanenori Ishibashi, a research engineer at the University of Tokyo, said Dec. 1. The university is another leading member of the consortium. The project is still in the planning stage, and organizers are actively hunting partners around the region so that satellite and mission development can begin next summer, he said.
UNIFORM was approved by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in October with a budget of 300 million yen ($3.5 million) per year over five years as part of a government effort to bolster Japan's university-based microsatellite community, said Shigekazu Matsuura, director of the Office of Space Utilization at MEXT, in a Nov. 30 interview.
Following the release of Japan's Basic Plan for Space Policy in June 2009, the Japanese government has continued to fund microsatellite development by universities, and UNIFORM follows on from a 4.1 billion yen investment by the Cabinet Office in university-based nanosatellite development, which ends in 2013.
Matsuura said MEXT is engaging in a form of "space diplomacy" funding the UNIFORM program's efforts to build up microsatellite expertise in the Asia-Pacific region.
"[Research and development] of microsatellites is very suitable for fostering young engineers and international diplomacy while increasing our earth observation frequency," said Matsuura, who takes credit for originating the program.
Announcing the project at the Asia-Pacific space agency forum in Melbourne in November was an important step in gathering partners to define the mission and start building pan-Asian cooperation, Ishibashi said.
"We did have very good responses from about a dozen people/organizations in the Asian-Pacific region," he said. "This means that now we have a chance to start forming a strong multinational micro/nanosatellite community [in Asia] that is focused not only on the engineering and science aspect but also the practical utilization of data and signals."
Japan's university-based microsatellite community dates back more than a decade, with most activities coordinated under the Tokyo-based University Space Engineering Consortium, which comprises 47 laboratories from 38 universities that are steadily building increasingly functional satellites faster and cheaper, Ishibashi said.
Asian-Pacific nations joining UNIFORM will develop their own satellites with Japanese partners on hand to provide required technologies for standardizing satellite equipment.
Ishibashi said participating nations will share with Japan the cost of building the UNIFORM microsatellites, which are expected to cost between 50 million and 200 million yen.[/size]

ЦитироватьЦитироватьNano-JASMINE (Nano-Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for Infrared Exploration) is the technical demonstrator for the JASMINE mission, and also the first space astrometry satellite mission in Japan. It will be launched at Nov. 2013 from Alcantara Launch Center at Brazil on a Tsiklon-4 rocket.
The Nano-JASMINE project is planned to demonstrate for the first time the capability for space astrometry in Japan and to perform experiments for verifications of techniques and operations planned for Small-JASMINE and JASMINE. Nano-JASMINE is a nano-size satellite of which the size and weight are (50 cm)3 and about 35 kg, respectively. Nano-JASMINE will operate in the zw-band (0.6 – 1.0 µm). The target accuracy of parallaxes is about 3 milliarcseconds at zw=7.5 mag. Moreover high-accuracy proper motions (0.1 milliarcseconds/year) can be obtained by combining the Nano-JASMINE catalogue with the Hipparcos catalogue, as the decrease in the error of the proper motions is proportional to the inverse of the epoch difference between the two catalogues which for Hipparcos and the Nano-JASMINE catalogues will exceed 20 years. It has been decided that Nano-JASMINE will be launched in FY2013 at the Alcantara space center in Brazil by a Tsiklon-4 rocket developed in Ukraine. Nano-JASMINE will be put in a Sun-synchronized orbit with the altitude of about 800 km.

Эта мелочь с Конотопом чтоль полетит? :shock:
Да!
Так низкая же орбита. Как же они жить будут? Или там какое довыведение?
ЦитироватьТак низкая же орбита. Как же они жить будут? Или там какое довыведение?
Орбита не низкая, около 400 км. Они будут запускаться с МКС манипулятором. Вообще кубосаты долго не живут :)
Но 400 км это ж совсем мало. Тем более для лёгкого спутника. Он же упадёт быстрее чем помрёт?
Упадет не быстрее чем обычный, он же маленький :)
ЦитироватьНо 400 км это ж совсем мало. Тем более для лёгкого спутника. Он же упадёт быстрее чем помрёт?
Легкость тут ни при чем особо. Важен баллистический коэффициент, а это отношение площади и массы. Т.е если он весит много относительно своей площади миделя - то особо и не решит сваливаться. На годик полета наверно хватит. :)
ЦитироватьУпадет не быстрее чем обычный, он же маленький :)
Маленькие быстрее падают. Но с 400 км и большие сыплются довольно быстро.
Правда удачно решается проблема космического мусора. :)

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station launched three CubeSats early Nov. 19, using a deployment mechanism aboard the orbiting lab's Kibo Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) that was successfully demonstrated last year.
A fourth satellite is scheduled for release early Nov. 20.
The first wave, ejected with the Small Satellite Orbital Satellite Deployer (SSOSD) from the Kibo exposed facility at 7:17 a.m. EST, included:
• Pico Dragon, a 1U CubeSat (10 by 10 by 10 cm) developed by the University of Tokyo, the Vietnam National Satellite Center and IHI Aerospace for Earth imaging.
• ArduSat-1 and ArduSat-X, developed by Nanoracks and NanoSatisfi under NASA sponsorship, for the technology validation of reprogramming deployed 1U satellites.
TechEdSat-3 is scheduled for deployment on Nov. 20 at 2:50 a.m. EST. The 3U (30 by 10 by 10 cm) satellite was developed by NASA's Ames Research Center to validate an aero-braking mechanism called Exo Brake.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata handled the first deployments after working with NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins to prepare the JEM's experiment airlock and the SSOSD for operations.
"From the monitor it looks really beautiful," Wakata advised JAXA flight controllers after the first three CubeSats sped away.
"Congratulations on a successful deployment," the Japanese ground team responded.
The release was delayed several minutes as Wakata and the controllers resolved an issue with a command panel display.
The CubeSats were delivered to the ISS aboard JAXA's HTV-4 resupply mission that docked to the station's U.S. segment on Aug. 9.
Using procedures validated in October 2012, the station astronauts opened the inner hatch of the small experiment airlock in the Kibo module to gain access to a slide table. The CubeSats, pre-packed in two Satellite Install Cases, were placed in the Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform on the slide table. The platform and the SSOSD were moved through the airlock to the JEM exposed facility, a 20- by 16.7- by 13.3-ft. (6 by 5 by 4-meter) external platform with power and data links for science payloads and engineering evaluations.
The spring-loaded deployer was grappled by Japan's 32-ft.-long robot arm and extended a safe distance for the initial release.
In the Oct. 4-5, 2012, demonstration, the JEM launch apparatus deployed five U.S. and Japanese CubeSats.
