WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II is a a technology demonstrator for 3D-printed satellites. It will be used to conduct experiments regarding deployment of membrane surfaces. WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II is a re-flight of an identical satellite lost during the RAISE-3 launch in October 2022.

FSI-SAT is a 1U Cubesat developed by the Future Science Institute as a low cost satellite featuring a multi-spectral camera and on-board data processing system. It is designed to demonstrate that this technology can be deployed and operated at this small scale and at low cost. FSI-SAT2 is a re-flight of an identical satellite lost during the RAISE-3 launch in October 2022.

The purpose of OrigamiSat-2 is to demonstrate on-orbit high-gain antenna technology for small satellites. The antenna surface is composed of a membrane surface with extremely low rigidity, and the approach of “daring not to require high flatness” is used to aggressively reduce the antenna weight and storage rate to achieve a large area.

Mono-Nikko will perform an in-orbit demonstration of an intelligent power supply unit that can acquire status data of batteries installed in micro spacecraft and quickly detect battery deterioration and abnormalities in orbit.

ARICA-2 will demonstrate a real-time alert system of sudden astronomical phenomena, such as gamma-ray bursts.

PRELUDE will acquire VLF band signals affected by ionospheric fluctuations, which are considered to be a promising precursor to earthquakes. In addition, the satellite is equipped with a GNSS receiver to observe the total number of electrons in the ionosphere in order to observe the increase in electron density, which is considered to be one of the mechanisms of ionospheric fluctuations.

MAGNARO are two small satellites developed by the Nagoya University to demonstrate formation flying techniques. MAGNARO is launched as a 3U CubeSat sized package that splits into two satellites after deployment. One is 2U and the other is 1U in size. After separating, they will maintain formation flying between 2 km to 500 km distance from each other. MAGNARO-II is a re-flight of an identical satellite lost during the RAISE-3 launch in October 2022.

KOSEN-2R features a deployable Yagi-style directional antenna which extends after deployment. It is designed to study deformation of the Earth’s crust under the sea floor. KOSEN-2R is a re-flight of an identical satellite lost during the RAISE-3 launch in October 2022.
