The PicoDragon satellite, developed through a collaboration between the University of Tokyo, Vietnam National Satellite Center, and IHI Aerospace Co. Ltd., is part of Japan’s efforts to enhance global connectivity. Launched during Expedition 37/38, this small satellite, or CubeSat, represents a significant advancement in space technology. It is part of JAXA’s efforts to develop affordable and efficient satellites that can be used for a variety of applications, from communications to Earth observation.
One of the key goals of the PicoDragon mission is to demonstrate the capabilities of small satellites in space. These miniature spacecraft are far less expensive and easier to deploy than traditional satellites, making them ideal for a variety of commercial, scientific, and military applications. PicoDragon is equipped with a range of sensors and communication devices designed to test the satellite's ability to operate in orbit and transmit data back to Earth.
This technology could be a game-changer for future space missions, particularly in regions that lack access to advanced satellite infrastructure. By lowering the cost and complexity of satellite technology, PicoDragon could open up space access to a broader range of countries and organizations, supporting scientific research and improving global communications.
