"KAGAYAKI"
SORUN CORPORATION
The aim of the project is to connect the dreams of disabled children with space.
The satellite features the following:
- Autonomous onboard control system
- Inflatable deployable boom
- Mission (debris detection, Aurora electric current observation, Design for reducing residual magnetism)

A piggyback payload launch utilizes the excessive launch capability of the rocket to launch small satellites that are made by a private company or university. The aim is to expand the base of space development and utilization in Japan by establishing a system to provide easy and quick launch and operation opportunities for small satellites, and help educate and nurture human resources by encouraging small satellite projects.
Seven baby satellites, six small satellites selected through public tender and one JAXA small satellite, are scheduled to be launched by the H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 15 with the "IBUKI."
