Through the activities of JEM, the Japanese Experiment Module named “Kibo”, GAUSS can provide launches from the ISS.
The Japanese H-II transfer vehicle is one of the launchers that can be used to reach the ISS, (like the Russian Soyuz and Progress MS, the American Falcon-9 and Cignus).
Kibo module can release in orbit:
- 1U, 2U or 3U Cubesats
- Customized CubeSats
- Microsatellites up to 55 x 55 x 55 cm
Thanks to the cooperation with JAMSS (Japan Manned Space Systems Corporation) which supported “Kibo”, GAUSS has performed launches from the International Space Station (ISS) : in 2017, the ISS Kibo Module released GAUSS satellite/deployer TuPOD, which had reached the ISS aboard the H-IIB Transfer Vehicle (HTV-6).
