Abstract
Small satellites, especially pico- or nano-class satellites, are considered to provide good opportunity for technology demonstration. University of Tokyo's pico-satellite “XI-V”, which was scheduled to be launched in September 2005, was developed in 1 year with the mission to test newly developed solar cells. This paper introduces the details of the mission and its effective operation using the network of ground stations.
