For this research project, retroreflective material is mounted on the CubeSat, and the reflection characteristics are observed by irradiating a laser from the ground. The CubeSat is also equipped with blue LEDs so that it can be observed from a telescope on the ground. The mission period is a half a year. \r\n Spaceflight Inc. will be taking the university?s payload to space as part of the MDS-2 mission, second mission with Mitsui Deployment Service (MDS). \r\n Kindai University contracted through Spaceflight to secure the launch, and together worked with MBA (Mitsui Bussan Aerospace) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) to deliver the SpaceTuna1 payload to JAXA where it was integrated into J-SSOD-R, the deployment dispenser.
