Within the scope of a Japanese FIRST (Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology) program led by Professor Nakasuka of University of Tokyo, Tohoku University is developing a 50kg-class international scientific microsatellite named RISESAT. In addition to various scientific instruments, RISESAT is also equipped with a laser communication terminal VSOTA, developed...
The Space Robotics Laboratory (SRL) of Tohoku University has developed three 50kg Micro-satellites. The first satellite “SPRITE-SAT” has been successfully launched into Earth orbit, and also been operated. The flight model of the second satellite “RISING-2” has been assembled and its software development is now finalized, being ready for the launch planned in next year. The third satellite “RISESAT”...
Professor Shinichi Nakasuka of University of Tokyo is now leading a small satellite development activity within the scope of a Japanese FIRST (Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology) program. In this program several 50 kg class microsatellites are going to be developed and launched by the end of Japanese fiscal year of 2013, including one scientific microsatellite...
One of the most important requirements imposed on planetary rovers is the ability to minimize slippage while climbing slopes covered with loose soil. Therefore, at the design stage of the rovers, it is necessary to evaluate the traveling performance of their locomotion mechanisms over a slope. However, to conduct traveling tests over slopes, the sandbox in which the tests are conducted must be tilted;...
