RAISE-2 (RApid Innovative payload demonstration SatellitE-2) was a smallsat for technology demonstration, part of the Japanese space agency JAXA's Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration Program. RAISE-2 was launched on 9 November 2021 as the main satellite of Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration-2.[2][3] RAISE-2 was developed by Mitsubishi Electric.[4]

RAISE-2 was decommissioned on 7 April 2023.[1]

Instruments

RAISE-2 carried six payloads that were tested in orbit during its one year mission. The payloads were selected in December 2018.[5]

  • SPR was developed by Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation
  • I-FOG (In-orbit Demonstration of Closed-Loop Fiber Optic Gyro) was developed by Tamagawa Seiki Company
  • ASC was developed by Amanogi Corporation
  • 3D-ANT, a satellite antenna made by a 3D printer, was developed by Mitsubishi Electric[6]
  • ATCD was developed by Tohoku University
  • MARIN was developed by JAXA
