OrigamiSat-1 , also Fuji-OSCAR 98 and FO-98 is a Japanese 3U CubeSat . The term OrigamiSat comes from the name of the research group " OR ganizat I on research of G roup on A dvanced deployable M embrane structures for I from nnovative space science Project". After the successful start and the reception of the first telemetry, the satellite was assigned the OSCAR number 98 by AMSAT-NA, so that the satellite also bears the designation "Fuji-OSCAR 98".

OrigamiSat-1 is the first satellite of this research group at the Tokyo University of Technology . The satellite includes an experiment using a membrane structure. The membrane deployment system provides an integrated membrane structure. The diaphragm fold pattern (rotational canted fold) allows thin film devices, such as thin film solar cells and thin phased array antennas, to be attached to the membrane . The satellite has a camera that takes pictures of the unfolded membrane. OrigamiSat-1 also carries a 5.8 GHz high-speed downlink experiment, with a data rate of 115 kbps .

mission

OrigamiSat-1 was launched on January 18, 2019 with an Epsilon launcher from the Uchinoura Space Center in Japan, together with RAPIS 1 , ALE 1 , Hodoyoshi 2 , MicroDragon , AOBA-VELOX 4 and NEXUS .
