SLATS
Definition
- SLATS is a technology demonstration minisatellite of JAXA to orbit the Earth at an altitude in the range of 180-250 km. Its main objectives are to understand the effects of high-density atomic oxygen on the satellite and to verify the possibility of orbit control using an ion engine system. In this mission, an ion engine system is used to compensate for air drag, which cannot be neglected in such a low Earth orbit. (en)
