History of artificial satellite "TeikyoSat" development
Steps to the birth of the artificial satellite "TeikyoSat-4"
The "Teikyo Sat" project started in 2008. The first "Teikyo Sat" was an empty can-sized microsatellite model. After that, at the request of Hirotoshi Kubota (then), a Professor the Department of Department of Aerospace Engineering, Faculty of Faculty of Science and Engineering and Engineering, the engineering club "Space Systems Study Group" was established. In 2010, we won the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Award at the "18th Satellite Design Contest", and in 2011, we decided to share the H2A rocket launched by JAXA. In February 2014, the "Teikyo Sat-3", which was launched into space over five years, flew 400 km above the ground and HK data necessary to operate, maintain, and manage the satellite for about three months. However, I could not complete the mission of observing microorganisms because I could not receive radio waves from the earth. The "Teikyo Sat-4", which was developed as a successor based on the data obtained from the development and operation of the "Teikyo Sat-3", was launched into space on the JAXA Epsilon rocket No. 5 in November 2021. rice field.
Developed by the engineering club "Space System Study Group"
"Space System Study Group" is an engineering club led by Masaaki Kawamura, Associate Professor the Department of Department of Aerospace Engineering, Faculty of Faculty of Science and Engineering and Technology. It was born in 2009 from Professor Kubota's desire to "recognize the power of science by allowing students to create and launch satellites with their own hands." From where I didn't understand anything, I visited laboratories inside and outside the university to learn know-how, and with the cooperation of companies in the prefecture, I overcame the challenges one by one.
