Objectives and Applications
|
INDEX is a Japanese microsatellite of JAXA/ISAS (Institute of Space and Astronomical Science). In JAXA tradition, the INDEX spacecraft was renamed to REIMEI after launch - meaning "dawn" in Japanese. The mission objective is to use INDEX as a) a demonstration satellite of advanced engineering technologies, and b) to support a small-scale astronomical science mission (fine structural observation of the aurora)
