7 CubeSats will be deployed from “Kibo” on Thursday, August 29, 2024.

On August 29, 2024, the following 7 CubeSats will be deployed from the Japanese Experiment Module “Kibo”.

* In May 2018, as a new step to enhance the commercial utilization of Kibo, JAXA selected Space BD Inc. and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace Co., Ltd. as the J-SSOD service provider.
Selection of Service Provider for Small Satellite Deployment from Kibo

The deployment event for those satellites by J-SSOD#31 will be broadcast via YouTube JAXA Channel.

August 29, 2024 (Thursday)
* The date and time of the deployment are subject to change due to the ISS schedule modification.

【Satellite】	Binar-2, Binar-3, Binar-4 [Size:1U x 3]
【Organizations】	Curtin University (Australia)
【Service Provider】	Space BD Inc.
【Mission】	Each Binar mission objectives are the followings: Further developing the Binar CubeSat Bus (BCB) technology designed by Curtin University students and to improve on the design from lessons learned with Binar-1. Testing radiation blocking materials developed by CSIRO, where two of the satellites will have different shielding materials surrounding a radiation sensor, with the third to act as a control. These materials are Australian-developed radiation shielding materials that can be used in future Binar missions outside of LEO. Demonstrating the satellite re-entry tracking payload for future testing of re-entry systems. The goal of this payload is validation of the test platform, to show that theoretical modelling of the system is accurate.
