Mission Plan

1.Experimental verification of two-way radio signal propagation
  characteristics using amateur radio-frequency bands.

2.Communication tests and their feedback aiming at improvement of satellite
  communication technology by using off-the-shelf consumer goods.

3.Tracking and communicating with our satellite by amateur earth stations
  all over the world.

4.Powered-flight by electric rocket engine.

5.Monitoring with a high-resolution camera the Kansai District;
  especially Osaka, around Yodogawa basin.
