| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research was to develop a CubeSAT for verifying the tether depolyment and to obtaining the data of tether dynaimcs during depolymnet by performing the experiment in orbit for verifying and improving our developing analytical tether dynamics model.
We developed the flight model of CubeSAT in 2015, and this CubeSAT was launched and released from Japanese experimental module "Kibo" on ISS in 2016, then we performed the satellite operation and the tether-deployment experiment in 2017. As the result, the development of satellite was succeeded and the satellite was alived until its reentry. Although the real time data od tether deployment could not be obtained, but it was supposed that the tether deployment in orbit was succeeded from the obtained data. In adddition, we could obtain the new knowledge about the tether delpoyment and could improve the analytical model of tether depolyment by this research.
