For this mission, the ultra-small water vapor thruster “PBR-10” manufactured by Pale Blue Co., Ltd. was carried out as the hosted payload. The purpose of this mission was to acquire data through on-orbit operations and to verify the soundness of operation, and ArcEdge Space was involved in the entire process from the development and manufacture of the satellite bus, to formulating the satellite operation plan required to accomplish the mission, to operational support. Both the satellite and thruster operated normally, and the expected operational results were achieved.
This project was adopted with the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in fiscal year 2021, and from fiscal year 2023 onwards, it will be promoted as part of NEDO’s (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) “Space Industry Technology Information Infrastructure Development Research and Development Project (Support for the development and demonstration of general-purpose buses for ultra-small satellites) / Development and demonstration of a 6U standard general-purpose bus and its production and operation system that enables rapid and efficient production of multiple types of units.”
