Epsilon S | RAISE-4 & others
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency | JapanUchinoura Space Center, Japan
TBD December, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
RAISE-4 (RApid Innovative payload demonstration Satellite-4) is a satellite for on-orbit demonstrations of 15 demonstration components and equipment selected by public solicitation. The satellite will be operated in response to requests from the demonstration theme proposers, and will provide experimental data of the demonstration devices and environmental data during the experiments. 10 of the demonstrations are re-flight of those planned for RAISE-3, which failed to reach orbit in October 2022.
