Detailed information about PRISM (HITOMI) satellite

Designator id: 2009-002B

Description of PRISM (HITOMI) Satellite:

Seven microsatellites were deployed as piggyback payloads to the Ibuki spacecraft. All of these spacecraft will follow a similar roughly 660 km sun-synchronous orbit. Six of the small satellites were developed by universities and private-sector companies; the seventh is a technology demonstrator for JAXA.

Prism, developed by the University of Tokyo, will make Earth observations using an expandable refracting telescope. It will also serve as a technology demonstration and verification of the ultra-small satellite bus and will provide various amateur radio services.
