The High Voltage Technology Demonstration Satellite named HORYU-II is a nano-satellite (30cm cubic shape, 7kg) successfully developed by students at Kyushu Institute of Technology. The main purpose of this satellite is orbital demonstration of the feasibility the forthcoming space high voltage technologies. The International Space Station (ISS) generates the highest voltage, 160V, among all of the current active space systems. HORYU-II aims at being the world’s first satellite to generate a voltage of 300V by using solar array, which is significantly higher voltage than the one generated on board the ISS. However, due to the generation of the high voltage, Electrostatic Discharges (ESDs) are more likely to occur. Therefore, HORYU-II also aims at performing a demonstration of ESD mitigation technology. HORYU-II was launched by a H-2A rocket on May 18 , 2012. HORYU-II is functioning normally and data from orbit have recently been recorded and data analysis is under way. Results of the analysis will be presented in detail at the conference.
