Technical Session IX: Student Competition
Abstract
The fourth small satellite project named "TSUBAME" has been started by Lab for Space Systems at Tokyo Institute of Technology. TSUBAME is a size of 50cm x 50cm x 40cm and total mass of 40 kg and has two main missions. One is a polarized X-ray and gamma-ray observation by changing the attitude at high speed with CMGs (Control Moment Gyros). The other is a tether formation flight. This paper will explain its conceptual design of ”TSUBAME” to achieve the missions.
