a rather detailed description of PROCYON (in Japanese) is available here


Translation of pages 10 to 15. More will follow. P

Significance of ultra minitualisation in deep space probes: even lighter and even deeper

50kg class, Ultra small probes, C3 approx.40 (Ceres)
(and at the very bottom as follows)
(C3:how much deeper can we throw into?)


P-10
Ultra small deep space probes - mission varieties (1)

* Piggy back on larger space probes and missions
– examples: IKAROS (on Akatsuki),PROCYON(on Hayabusa 2)
– frequency is minimal, but offers precious opportunity despite the lack of merit arising from low cost and high frequency potential

* Piggy back on GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) missions
–small kick stage (approx. a few 100kg) added to the top of launcher is used to insert small probe into orbits outside gravity (C3>0) after main satellite insertion into GTO
– after that the probe will move into its own mission orbit by EDVEGA etc. (electric propulsion as used in Hayabusa)

P-11


Ultra small deep space probes - mission varieties (2)

* single probe launch by low cost, medium rocket (Epsilon)
– insertion into orbit which reaches ultra far astronomical object making use of its light weight (approx. 50kg)
– conducting risky project as precursor to future medium to large missions

* cluster of probes launched by medium, low cost rocket (Epsilon)
–simultaneous launch of ultra light probes by a single rocket
– insertion into far reaching orbit is not possible, but individual orbit manuevability can secure limited mission freedom and variation (--> leading to low cost and frequent deep space missions


P-12

Pandaneko, just wanted to thank you for yet another superb effort to help us English speakers understand yet another JAXA mission; it's very much appreciated!!! smile.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Summary

• Significance and possibility of ultra minitualisation of deep space probes

– Minitualisation/ultra minitualisation is an important direction to take in order to carry out low cost and frequent science missions (as stated in Space Science Roadmap)
– What is required is not a simple minitualisation of mission and system scales, thereby making compromises in the mission results
– Ultra minitualised satellite industry has been active at innovation by introducing advanced technologies available in private industries (by improving on introduction methods), thereby making it possible to produce light weight, small, and low cost satellites with high capabilities
– Other component technologies are increasingly becoming available in order to achieve ultra minitualisation of deep space probes
– Epsilon+4th satge may be able to send ultra miniture probes into orbits of Mars and beyond re. If increased from 50kg to 100kg they are still sufficiently light for dual (tandem) probing missions.

• PROCYON: 50kg class ultra small engineering test deep space probe

– Verification of ultra small deep space probe bus system and ultra close and high speed flyby approach to asteroid
– Collaboration between university teams and ISAS/JAX with a view to achieving new form of deep space exploration
– Piggy back launch on Hayabusa 2 is expected in December 2014

Hayabusa 2 will be accompanied in solar orbit by two microspacecraft, PROCYON and Artsat 2 and possibly also by Shin'en 2.
The most interesting of the bunch is PROCYON which, among other things, will demonstrate imaging techniques during at least one but possibly up to three close flybys of small NEOs
a presentation of the mission and spacecraft is available here


Paolo, thanks again for this. Do we know anything more about Artsat 2. If 2 was there 1? What was it?
Also, Is the launcher of Hayabusa 2 still going to be H2A? I am confused because I realised during
the course of my translation that they may be using this Epsilon.

As far as I know its first launch was some time last year and I am not too sure if it is reliable.
Again, it is not that important, and I am only curiious. P

pandaneko, Artsat 1 was launched in February as a secondary payload in Earth orbit. they have a good Facebook page

This really is just in case what follows has evaded the attention of colleagues so far.
I have come across an interesting short video describing activities for MASCOT.
Its URL is as follows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbLmmvki_Bo

It is all German and yet it gives us an insight into the workings of this lander.
Actually, if you come to think about it this is all the more interesting because
with Hayabusa we had to imagine what the landing site looked like.

However, MASCOT will give us actual images and I am already very exited about this prospect. P

according to this abstract, a possible target for the PROCYON miniprobe would be 1999 JV6, a quasi-satellite of Earth in a 1-year orbit. flyby would be in March 2016.

My translation of PROCYON ppt file is now complete, but I have a problem.

It is at 4.8 MB, and I tried to divide it into parts so that I can upload them as attachments.
One such was found to be still at 4.1 MB, containing only 3 pages. I will study sharing procedure,
but it will take time, my apologies. I am not good at IT at all. P
