Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, not only research and development of micro-satellite technologies, but also their actual utilization is becoming very active in the world. This research has established an integrated and comprehensive development and verification environment of micro-satellites in order to improve their reliability in the orbit, as well as to enable rapid and low-cost development. This environment is capable of full software simulation, dynamic closed-loop simulation, and real operation based on the same platform. This environment can be also configured and extended very flexibly according to the project's demands. The functionality of this environment has been evaluated as it was applied to Tohoku University's real-life micro-satellite project.
