EQUULEUS Mission

Objectives and Applications

EQUULEUS, a deep-space mission was proposed by JAXA and the University of Tokyo. EQUULEUS project plans to demonstrate low-energy trajectory control techniques within the Earth-Moon region at EML2 (Earth—Moon L2 Lagrangian point 2), using a new water propulsion system with low thrust and little propellant, and to conduct scientific observations such as imaging Earth’s plasmasphere.
