光衛星間通信実験衛星「きらり」(OICETS)姿勢制御系軌道上性能評価

摘要

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched Optical Inter-orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite (OICETS,“Kirari”) on Aug. 24, 2005 by a Dnepr Launch Vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to inject into sun synchronous orbit with analtitude of 610km. The mission of OICETS is to demonstrate the optical inter-orbit communications experiment with ESA’sARTEMIS on geostationary orbit. This paper describes the operation results in critical phase after launch, the checkout results and theperformance evaluation in the communications experiment with ARTEMIS regarding the attitude and orbit control system (AOCS).
