| Description: |
KITSUNE (Fox in Japanese language) is a 6-unit (6U) CubeSat with multiple missions such as Earth observation with 5-m class resolution color images, demonstration of C-band communication service, development of 2-unit main bus system (2UMB), measurements of total electron content in the ionosphere, LORA on-orbit demonstration for Internet of things (IoT), and store-and-forward mission from the ground sensor terminals of the developing countries. KITSUNE satellite has been developed as a dual-satellite system that is composed of the section controlled by the amateur frequencies, which includes the 2UMB and 3U-sized camera payload, and the section controlled by the non-amateur frequencies that is called SPATIUM-II. While SPATIUM-II only receives battery power from the 2UMB section, it is controlled by an independent ground station to perform store-and-forward mission and ionospheric research. On the other hand, the 2UMB system executes the Earth observation mission and C-band amateur radio service. Even though the camera payload has been developed to capture 5-m class color images for entertainment purposes, it will be used to demonstrate wild-fire detection by a CubeSat platform as well. Finally, the flight model of the satellite has been successfully completed, and KITSUNE is expected to launch in early 2022. ; 33rd International Symposium on Space Technology and Science (ISTS), February 26-March 4, 2022, Beppu, Japan（オンライン開催に変更） ; conference paper |
