A liftoff of the Dnepr launch vehicle took place on November 6, 2014, 07:35 UTC, at the Dombarovsky launch site. The rocket carried Japanese ASNARO-1 Earth-watching satellite as its primary cargo and a cluster of secondary remote-sensing payloads: Hodoyoshi-1, ChubuSat-1, Tsubame and QSAT-EOS satellites.
TSUBAME is a size of 50cm x 50cm x 40cm and total mass of 40 kg. The name “TSUBAME” means swift in Japanese, which is the same meaning as that of the NASA’s gamma-ray observation satellite, “Swift”. In addition, swift is adopted in Tokyo Tech’s symbol mark. Compared to “Swift”, TSUBAME can change its attitude more rapidly, and it observes polarized X-ray. The TSUBAME project has three goals. The first one is to demonstrate a student-leading system design and to obtain a development principle of several tens kg-class satellite. The second goal of the project is to promptly conduct high-technology demonstrations in orbit. The third goal is to share with space engineering researchers, students, and other enthusiasts the rare experiment opportunities.
