Cubesat Experiments

STARS spacecraft

The Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite robotic spacecraft developed by the Kagawa Satellite Development Project in the Kagawa University consists of mother and daughter satellites connected by a tether. STARS was launched 23 January 2009 as a secondary payload aboard H-IIA flight 15, which also launched GOSAT. It successfully separated from the rocket, but the tether failed to deploy "due to the launch lock trouble of the tether reel mechanism."

STARS-II

A follow-on Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite, STARS-II, Iaunched on 27 February 2014 as a secondary payload aboard an H-2A rocket. The experiment was only partially successful, and tether deployment could not be confirmed.
