Description

This mission features our 6U satellite platform in its“large antenna model,” equipped with a deployable antenna.

We plan to conduct in-orbit demonstration of VDES (VHF Data Exchange System), along with verification of key technologies of our receiver systems.

VDES is expected to serve as a next-generation maritime information infrastructure, enabling two-way digital communication with vessels via satellite and contributing to safer navigation and greater digitalization of maritime operations
