SERVIS-2 (abbreviation for Space Environment Reliability Verification Integrated System , Japanese 実 証 衛星 2 号 機 , Jisshō Eisei 2-gōki , German "Detection satellite device no. 2") is a Japanese research satellite of the Institute for Unmanned Space Experiment Free Flyer (USEF) with an order from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

history

The SERVIS project was started in 1999 and serves to evaluate commercial-off-the-shelf parts and technologies in space. The predecessor SERVIS-1 was launched into polar orbit on October 30, 2003 at 13:43:42 UTC with a Rockot launcher from the Plesetsk rocket launch site and worked for two years.

mission

SERVIS-2 was launched on June 2, 2010 at 01:59 UTC also with a Rockot launcher from the Plesetsk rocket launch site. At 3:36 a.m. UTC, SERVIS-2 was deployed by the upper level on the planned sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of around 1,200 kilometers.

technology

The satellite is about 2.5 meters high. The energy supply system consists of solar panels with a span of 10.2 m, which achieve an electrical output of more than 1300 W, which they make available to the payload via a 50 V bus system. The payload, which weighs over 300 kg, has more than 500 W available. The satellite has 3-axis stabilization and the telemetry is carried out with a bandwidth of 2 kBit / s (USB), 256 kbps (HSB) and 4 kbps (Command). 1 Newton hydrazine thrusters are available for orbit control . Ground control is provided by the USEF Space Operations Center (USOC) control center in Tokyo using the JAXA Ground Stations Network.

In addition to the systems to be tested, there were also commercial electronic parts on board for evaluation for use in space:

SERVIS-2
SRAM 4 Mbit , 8 Mbit
DRAM 256 Mbit, 512 Mbit
SOI SRAM 128 kbit in the 0.18 µm process
FlashMemory NOR 128 Mbit
FPGA SRAM type, EEPROM type

Experimental systems on board SERVIS-2

Nine experimental systems were carried on board SERVIS-2.
