(1) EQUULEUS (EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U Spacecraft) will be the world’s smallest spacecraft to explore the Earth-Moon Lagrange2 point (EML2). The spacecraft will be jointly developed by the University of Tokyo and JAXA which will be launched by NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) EM-1 (Exploration Mission-1) in 2019. The spacecraft will fly to a libration orbit around the EML2 point and demonstrate trajectory control techniques within the Sun-Earth-Moon region. We are developing DELPHINUS (DEtection camera for Lunar impact PHenomena IN 6U Spacecraft), one of the scientific instruments which can observe the Lunar impact flashes and near-Earth asteroids. http://issl.space.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/equuleus/en/ (2) Japanese space start-up
ALE is developing the technology to deliver on-demand man-made meteors, which
could turn the night sky into a blank canvas. We plan to launch its first
satellite into orbit in 2018, and present its debut show in early-2019, when
that satellite has reached its position. I'll introduce our artificial meteor
project and EQUULEUS.
