A small rocket to demonstrate the use of consumer products and observation technology has been released at the facility of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Kimotsuki-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture.
The JAXA's small observation rocket "S-310" No. 45, which was released, is about 8 meters long, 31 cm in diameter, and weighs about 780 kg.
The rocket is scheduled to rise to an altitude of about 150 km, and experiments will be conducted using onboard electronic devices using the zero-gravity condition of outer space.
In the experiment, a small camera and a communication device were cut off in the middle and the image taken was sent to the ground, which demonstrated the technology for observing natural phenomena from a position away from the rocket, as well as commonly used cameras and communication Using technology, we are exploring the potential of consumer goods.
In addition, experiments are being planned to control the observation device so that it can be directed in the desired direction, with the aim of applying it to astronomical observations in space.
JAXA's Hiroto Hanyu, Director of the Observation Rocket Experiment Group, said, "We would like to use experiments and parts that are widely used in the world, so that more users can use the observation rocket."
Launch of the "S-310" is postponed to 9 days from the beginning of eight days because of the weather, is scheduled to be launched from the Uchinoura Space Center of kimotsuki to prospect the 5 pm.
