FREEDOM (Membrane Deployable Orbit Detachment Device Space Demonstration Satellite) is a nano-satellite specialized for membrane deployment that was developed jointly by our company and Tohoku University to demonstrate the reliable drive of "DOM" in outer space. It is a small artificial satellite.
On September 29, 2014, it was selected by JAXA for a mission to be launched from the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station "Kibo".
FREEDOM released into space counts a certain amount of time, and then
Expand DOM1500 (membrane size 1500mm square).
After deployment, it is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in about a month.
We evaluate the performance of DOM using orbit information from public institutions.

With the practical application of the membrane deployment orbit departure device
FREEDOM was launched on December 9, 2016 and transported to the International Space Station. It entered orbit on January 16, 2017 and re-entered the Earth's atmosphere approximately 22 days later.
This demonstrated the possibility of preventing satellites from turning into space debris.
Image capturing the moment of release
It's true that the universe is incredibly large, but that doesn't mean that trash is relatively small.
Don't call it a husk of romance or the remains of a dream, just try to ``return home cleaner than when you left.'' I hope the experiment is a success! We are rooting for you!
As the name FREEDOM suggests, we hope that the debris problem will be solved and that access to space will continue to be peaceful and free. I hope that it will become the foundation for that.

Please do your best to keep the universe clean! A universe without space debris! Please do your best for those who will go to space in the future. I'm rooting for you.
