JAXA Small Demonstration Satellite (SDS-4)

Features


  • Compact and lightweight

  • Vibration and impact proof against the rocket launch

  • Highly accurate measurement with pairs of quartz crystals for monitoring and referencing in order to cancel out the temperature-induced fluctuations of the oscillating frequencies from the quartz crystal
