EQUULEUS (EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U Spacecraft) will be the world's smallest spacecraft to explore Earth-Moon Lagrange point. It is being jointly developed by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and University of Tokyo, launched NASA's Space Launch System Mission-1. The fly a libration orbit around L2 (EML2) demonstrate low-energy trajectory-control techniques within Sun-Earth-Moon region for first time nano-class spacecraft. also carries three scientific observation missions:...
The 6U CubeSat "OMOTENASHI," which is due to be launched in 2020 by NASA's Space Launch System, will the world's smallest moon lander. Its main mission present possibility of nanomoon landers enable distributed multipoint lunar exploration and participation commercial sector. severe mass size limitations OMOTENASHI make a soft landing on surface impossible, so instead semihard scheme has been adopted. That is, small solid rocket motor decelerate spacecraft around 50 m/s, followed use shock...
OMOTENASHI is a CubeSat that will be launched by NASA SLS rocket in 2020. Its mission to demonstrate can make semi-hard landing on the Moon.The 6U-size spacecraft consists of an orbiting module (OM), motor (RM) for deceleration Moon, and surface probe (SP) as module. The prove successful upon sending information accelerometer mounted back Earth. This presentation has outlined design process on-orbit separation mechanism spacecraft. Numerical simulations experimental results used are also presented.
OMOTENASHI is a CubeSat that will be launched by NASA SLS rocket. Its mission to demonstrate can make semi-hard landing on the Moon. The 6U-size spacecraft, which weighs 12.6kg, and consists of an orbiting module (OM), rocket motor (RM) for deceleration approach moon, surface probe (SP) as module. Under tight resource constraints, unique structure separation mechanism designed small space low mass. A validity these designs has been verified through vibration test. margin safety under launch...
This paper describes a separation experiment conducted at extremely high spin rates for OMOTENASHI, being developed as the world's smallest Moon lander. The validated method used in landing sequence and tipoff impulse was estimated from motion of separated object. study showed that increases superlinearly rate region. information is indispensable determining operational OMOTENASHI orbit. described this can be applied widely to experiments small spinning satellites rocket stages.

The 6U-size spacecraft consists of an orbiting module (OM), rocket motor (RM) for decelerating, and surface probe (SP) module. prove successful when accelerometer mounted SP sends its information back Earth. Under tight resource constraints, unique mechanism was designed separating RM from OM, based small volume low mass. function has been verified through...
