Description of SOHLA-1 (MAIDO-1) 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.

SOHLA 1, the Space Oriented Higashi-Osaka Leading Association exploratory satellite, was developed by a team of small and midsize companies in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture. Students at Osaka Prefecture University, Osaka University and Ryukoku University provided technological support. The satellite is designed to observe lightning.
