Abstract
Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITech) is participating in the CubeSat Project which is an international, educational, and practical project. "CubeSat" means S^3-SAT (Student, Space, Study Satellite), and the shape of the satellite is cubic. In this project, over ten universities are developing the small satellites of 100mm cubic and less than 1kg in weight which might be developed in a very short period. Eighteen CubeSats will be launched together in Spring 2003 by a Russian rocket called "DNEPR". TITech CubeSat project is called the "CUTE" (CUbical TITech Engineering satellite) project. Within this project, we are developing one CubeSat called CUTE-I, and have conducted various tests and experiments. In this paper, we explain the detail of design and development of CUTE-I, then, we report the result of final ground test.
