| Research Abstract |
We developed an engineering system for a small satellite TSUBMAME, the 4^<th> university satellite of 50kg in mass, developed by the Tokyo Tech. The mission will be an important pathfinder for future space science using the small satellites. We constructed engineering test modules for the hard X-ray Compton polarimeter, wideband burst monitor as well as high-speed attitude control system based on the control momentum gyro. We showed that all the system works pretty well to achieve our science goals for detecting hard X-ray/gamma-ray polarization in various transient sources.
