Abstract
The 15kg-class nano-satellite "PROITERES" (The Project of Osaka Institute of Technology Electric-Rocket-Engine onboard Small Space Ship) with electrothermal pulsed plasma thrusters (PPTs) and high resolution camera is being developed in Osaka Institute of Technology. The mission of this satellite is powered flight of nano-satellite by PPTs in orbital and observation of Kansai district in Japan with a high-resolution camera. PROITERES will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (India) to the sun-synchronous orbit of 670 km in 2011.We developed Flight Model (FM) of the satellite, including electrothermal PPT system, high-resolution camera system, onboard computer system, communication system and grand station, electric power system, attitude control system etc, in 2010-2011. In this paper, we report all systems of PROITERES and its structure.
