[Andrew Glasbrenner]

On January 18, 2019, OrigamiSat-1 was launched on an Epsilon launch vehicle
from the JAXA Uchinoura Space Center in Japan. The first satellite of the
ORIGAMI (ORganizatIon of research Group on Advanced deployable Membrane
structures for Innovative space science) Project of the Tokyo Institute of
Technology, OrigamiSat-1 includes a deployable membrane structure
experiment, as well as a 5.8GHz high speed downlink experiment. Telemetry
has been received and decoded around the world since the launch. More
information may be found at http://www.origami.titech.ac.jp/

 

At the request of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, AMSAT hereby designates
OrigamiSat-1 as Fuji-OSCAR 98 (FO-98). We congratulate the owners and
operators of FO-98, thank them for their contribution to the amateur
satellite community, and wish them continued success on this and future
projects.
