Introduction to the CubeLander and Apophis Landing mission
14th October 2026 (Wed) 22:00 (JST)
Tetsuro Harada presents an introduction to the CubeLander and Apophis Landing mission. Birds bus will be applied to an asteroid lander called CubeLander. A target asteroid is Apophis, which will make a close approach to Earth on April 13, 2029, passing approximately 36,000 km above the Earth’s surface. The CubeLander will be developed primarily by students of ChibaTech who had developed and operated Earth-orbiting CubeSats.
