Description:

• The 50 g class satellite is built on a 50 cm × 50 cm × 70 cm structure built by AxelSpace built platform based on the Hodoyoshi-1 satellite. It features an optical imaging system based on a 40 cm diameter Cassegrain telescope with 3720 mm focal length and an detector based on the EOS 5D mk.3 camera with 5760 × 3840 pixels. This imaging system provides an 1 m ground resolution from a 600 km orbit with a 6 km × 4 km frame size.
• Also an experimental Magnetic Plasma Deorbit System is onboard, which employs the satellite′s magnetic torquers to generate a magnetic moment that interacts with the ram plasma flow to create a plasma drag force.
