Cubesat Experiments[]

STARS spacecraft[]

The Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite (STARS) robotic spacecraft developed by the Kagawa Satellite Development Project in the Kagawa University consists of mother and daughter satellites connected by a tether.[3] STARS was launched 23 January 2009 as a secondary payload aboard H-IIA flight 15, which also launched GOSAT.[4] It successfully separated from the rocket, but the tether failed to deploy "due to the launch lock trouble of the tether reel mechanism."[5]

STARS-II[]

A follow-on Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite, STARS-II,[6] Launched on 27 February 2014 as a secondary payload aboard an H-2A rocket. The experiment was only partially successful, and tether deployment could not be confirmed.[7]
