According to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the demonstration of small satellites deployment from the Japanese Experiment Module “Kibo” of the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for September 27. All 5 CubeSats are mounted in a JEM-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD). In one POD are FITSAT-1, F-1 and TechEdSat in the second POD is WeWish and a scientific 2U CubeSat RAIKO. Please note that F-1 transmits telemetry beacon on 145.980MHz (1k2 AFSK) and PWM CW beacon on 437.485MHz (FM).

At 11:06am local time (9:09am Vietnam time), the HII-B rocket successfully launched HTV-3 transfer vehicle carrying F-1 and companion CubeSats to orbit. 15 minutes after launch, HTV-3 (KOUNOTORI3) successfully separated, initiated communications with Tsukuba, establised 3-axis attitude control and completed the first phase maneuver (PM1). It is on course for docking with the International Space Station in about 5 days.

At the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) of the Tanegashima Space Center (TNSC), final preparation for KOUNOTORI-3 (HTV-3) launch continues. On July 9, final inspection was performed, and no NG (Not Good) was found from the vehicle. From July 13 to 15, a rehearsal was conducted simulating the launch operation. Late access cargo loading will continue until July 19. Then the hatch will be closed, and HIIB/KOUNOTORI3 will be carried to the launch pad. The target launch date and time for KOUNOTORI3 is still at 11:06 a.m. (JST, UTC+9), July 21, 2012.

This morning, the ISS Expedition 32 crew Suni Williams (NASA), Yuri Malenchenko (RSA) and Aki Hoshide (JAXA) were successfully launched aboard the Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft at 8:40 a.m. local time from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. One of astronaut Akihiko Hoshide’ missions is to operate the Kibo module’s robotic arm to deploy the small satellites (including F-1) to orbit, currently scheduled around September. Here is the video of the launch: Also, the weekly SPACE@NAVI-Kibo #168 from JAXA has some detailed information on astronaut Akihiko Hoshide:
