| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
On February 28, 2014 (JST), the world's first art satellite, “ARTSAT1: INVADER” was launched as a piggyback payload of the H-IIA F23 launch vehicle, and inserted into a non-sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 378 km and inclination of 65 degrees. INVADER, a 10 cm cube 1U-CubeSat with a mass of 1.85 kg continued its steady operation on orbit, successfully performing an array of artistic missions by a mission on-board computer (OBC) “Morikawa”, compatible with open-source hardware platform Arduino. Following INVADER, deep space sculpture “ARTSAT2:DESPATCH”; a 3D-printed, spiral-shaped (sculptural) form with an envelope area of approx. cube 50 cm and a total mass of approx. 33 kg was launched on December 3, 2014. It also equipped with “Morikawa” and its ‘cosmic poems’ were successfully received from deep space.
