Session VII: Spacecraft Systems
Abstract
The Space-Science Industries Program has been performing investigations for the Micro-satellite and Hyperspectral remote sensing missions.The Earth Observation Micro-satellite “TAIKI” is a 50kg satellite which has low-cost and small bus-subsystems for advanced remote sensing missions.This bus-subsystem will be developed and manufactured products.The TAIKI is characterized by a small Hyperspectral sensor “HSC-III” which is targeted at the performances of 30m of ground sampling distance and 61 spectral bands in VINR (Visible and Near Infrared).The advanced remote sensing data such as Hyperspectral data are large volume so the downlink uses the laser communication of 100Mbps.The terrestrial laser communication has already been successfully experimented.In addition, HSC-III optics instrument which mainly consists of spectrometer, detector and on-board calibration systems has been developed in 2008.This paper reports the small bus-subsystem including the laser communication systems for the TAIKI and Hyperspectral sensor instrument.
