    <p>A Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) algorithm for attitude control systems is a key technology to increasing the reliability and survivability of spacecraft. Micro/nano interplanetary spacecraft, which are rapidly evolving in recent years, also require robust FDIR algorithms. However, the implementation of FDIR algorithms to these micro/nano spacecraft is difficult because of the limitations of their resources (power, mass, cost, and so on). This paper shows a strategy of how to construct a FDIR algorithm in the limited resources, taking examples from micro deep space probe PROCYON. The strategy focuses on function redundancies and multi-layer FDIR. These ideas are integrated to suit the situation of micro/nano interplanetary spacecraft and demonstrated in orbit by the PROCYON mission. The in-orbit results are discussed in detail to emphasize the effectiveness of the FDIR algorithm. </p>

    JAXA’s ERG (Exploration of Energization and Radiation in Geospace) Spacecraft, which is nicknamed Arase, was launched on 20 December 2016. Arase is a spin-stabilized and Sun-oriented spacecraft. Its mission is to explore how relativistic electrons in the radiation belts are generated during space storms. Two different on-ground attitude determination algorithms are designed for the mission: A TRIAD-based algorithm that inherits from old missions and a filtering-based new algorithm. This paper, first, discusses the design of the filtering-based attitude determination algorithm, which is mainly based on an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), specifically designed for spinning spacecraft (SpinUKF). The SpinUKF uses a newly introduced set of attitude parameters (i.e., spin-parameters) to represent the three-axis attitude of the spacecraft and runs UKF for attitude estimation. The paper then presents the preliminary attitude estimation results for the spacecraft that are obtained after the launch. The results are presented along with the encountered challenges and suggested solutions for them. These preliminary attitude estimation results show that the expected accuracy of the fine attitude estimation for the spacecraft is less than 0.5°.

    <p>SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) is the Lunar Landing Demonstrator which is under development at ISAS/JAXA. SLIM demonstrates not only so-called Pin-Point Landing Technique to the lunar surface, but also demonstrates the design to make the explorer small and lightweight. Realizing the compact explorer is one of the key points to achieve the frequent lunar and planetary explorations. This paper summarizes the preliminary system design of SLIM, especially the way to reduce the size.</p>

    <p>In this study, a crater detection method for a moon-landing system with low computational resources is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), which aims for a pin-point landing on the moon. According to this plan, surface images of the moon will be captured by a camera mounted on the space probe, and the craters are to be detected from the images. Based on the positional relationship between detected craters, the method estimates the exact flight position of the space probe. Because the computational resources of SLIM are limited, rapid and accurate crater detection must be performed using fixed-point arithmetic on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). This study proposes a crater detection method that uses principal component analysis (PCA). The computational processing for crater detection by PCA is performed by product-sum operations, which are suitable for fixed-point arithmetic. Moreover, this method is capable of parallel processing; hence high-speed processing is expected. This study not only introduces a crater detection method using PCA but also evaluates the properties of this method.</p>

    In this paper is presented a microgravity experiment system utilizing a high altitude balloon. The feature is a double shell structure of a vehicle that is dropped off from the balloon and a microgravity experiment section that is attached to the inside of the vehicle with a liner slider. Control with cold gas jet thrusters of relative position of the experiment section to the vehicle and attitude of the vehicle maintains fine microgravity environment. The design strategy of the vehicle is explained, mainly referring to differences from the authors' previous design. The result of the flight experiment is also shown to evaluate the characteristics of the presented system.

    In this paper, direction control of balloon gondola with only untwisting motor is proposed. Typically a reaction wheel and another actuator for unloading the reaction wheel are in use to control the attitude (or direction) of the gondola. Although this method can get high accuracy control performance, two actuators spend many resources of the gondola. The proposed method uses only untwisting motor installed above the gondola to rotate. This method can not realize such high accuracy control performance but realize direction control with the most simple configuration. The proposed method is applied to prototype GAPS (General Anti-Particle Spectrometer) balloon experiment in 2012. This paper shows control design for this experiment and the results of the proposed method.

    We are in progress to develop a system for automatic operation of a satellite in order to reduce human load at satellite steady operation phase. The ground station for small satellite REIMEI (INDEX : INnovative-technology Demonstration EXperiment) is used as a test bench for verification of the proposed method. In our new automatic operation system, a scheduler software as a substitutive operator manages all the operations through a unified procedure, including sending command, receiving telemetry, and driving antenna in accordance with an operation time line which is prepared before the operation pass. The scheduler also performs diagnostics of satellite anomaly based upon the received telemetry data and status of the ground station. In case that some anomaly of the satellite is detected, the scheduler initiates an emergency schedule that was prepared depending on the emergency level. The automatic operation system is nearly completed for downlink operations of the data recorder that account for 75% of REIMEI steady operation. This approach is very effective to reduce psychological and physical load of operators.
