The overview of the development of micro satellite CubeSat in Nihon University

Abstract

Nihon University is developing micro satellite "CubeSat" proposed by USSS and we aim at the launch in 2003. Participating in this project means that we can earn the basic know how of developing a satellite and buildup a foundation to do a simple experiment in space. We suggest the mission of our "CubeSat" as attitude estimation by measuring temperature using platinum resistance element. In this presentation, we will introduce the subsystem of our CubeSat, current status of the mission analysis, and report the result of the operation experiment in ARLISS.
