MTP (Multi-mode Integrated Transponder): Development and Onboard Demonstrations Results

Abstract

We have developed a multi-mode integrated transponder with four schemes of modulation and conducted a demonstration test in orbit with a demonstration test model. We have also manufactured a qualification test model and completed development as a versatile component for JAXA satellites. The decision has been taken to include the MTP on board various JAXA satellites and it is currently in the manufacturing phase. We will subsequently report on the main functions of the MTP and the results of the demonstration test in orbit.
