A collaborative research group, led by Associate Professor Masaki R. Yamagata (Faculty of Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering, Kansai University), Associate Professor Yoshihide Aoyagi (Headquarters for Innovative Society-Academia, University of Fukui), Associate Professor Kikuko Miyata (Faculty of Science and Technology, Meijo University), and ArcEdge Space, has successfully deployed the CubeSat "DENDEN-01" (1U size, 10×10×10 cm) from the International Space Station (ISS), established communications, and have started its operations.
DENDEN-01 was deployed from the Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) of the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" on the ISS at 20:17 JST on Monday, December 9. Communications via test signals confirmed the successful acquisition of satellite data. Following a critical operation phase of about one month, DENDEN-01 will be ready to carry out planned demonstration experiments.

DENDEN-01 is a 1U CubeSat selected for the "J-CUBE Program," an initiative jointly organized by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC) at the end of fiscal year 2021. J-CUBE program enables domestic universities and colleges to deploy CubeSats from the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" aboard the International Space Station (ISS). DENDEN-01 was selected for the 2021 Innovative Mission Proposal category.
DENDEN-01 will carry out on-orbit demonstrations of various energy technologies and high-load missions, including a temperature stabilizing device for power supply utilizing solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCM). These demonstrations will contribute to the future development of cubesats.
