Our Mission
This satellite is the result of engineers, designers, and operators working across disciplines.
Each subsystem, each decision, and each test reflects the effort of a team building something that has to work the first time.
Our Heritage
BIRDS-RPM didn’t start from zero.
It stands on six generations of satellites—each one teaching us what to keep, and what to rethink.
Some systems proved reliable. Others revealed limits.
Every decision in this satellite traces back to something we learned in orbit, in testing, or the hard way.
Meet the team.

Team Experience
“I learnt not just about my own subsystems but also the other subsystems and how they are interdependent and make the whole satellite work.”
vatasta – camera mission
“This experience made me keenly aware of the need to share information with team members, no matter how minor the detail.”
eiji – obc
“I’m very happy to have many opportunities to speak English even though I’m in Japan. I learned how to do Thermal Vacuum Testing. and thermal simulations.”
