[Invited Talk] Small Satelite REIMEI for Auroa Observation -- Five Years on Orbit --
Hirobumi Saito (ISAS) SANE2010-96
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper describes the outline and five years’ on-orbit results of the small scientific satellite REIMEI for aurora observations and demonstrations of advanced small satellite technologies. REIMEI is a small satellite with 72kg mass, and is provided with three-axis attitude control capabilities for aurora observations. REIMEI was launched into a nearly sun synchronous polar orbit on Aug. 23rd, 2005 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan by Dnepr rocket. REIMEI satellite has been satisfactorily working on the orbit for five years at present of August, 2010. Three axis control is achieved with accuracy of 0.1 deg(3σ). Multi-spectrum images of aurora are taken with 8Hz rate and 2 km spatial resolution to investigate the aurora physics. REIMEI is performing the simultaneous observation of aurora images and particle measurements. REIMEI indicates that even a small satellite launched as a piggy-back can successfully perform unique scientific mission purposes.
