Japan's space agency has been unable to communicate with one of two cubesats it launched earlier this week as part of the Artemis 1 mission.
or Black Friday, uHoo is $140 off its original price, plus you’ll get one year of uHoo’s Premium plan, with customized alerts about air quality.Unfortunately, JAXA’s OMOTENASHI seems to be experiencing an issue. The space agency put out a shortearlier today saying EQUULEUS is a-okay, but that OMOTENASHI “has not completed sun acquisition,” meaning the tiny probe hasn’t referenced its position relative to the Sun, which is needed for stabilization.
We’ll be following the cubesats on their various journeys. Hopefully OMOTENASHI will spring to life and that each cubesat will eventually sign in with their respective bosses.
