JASMINE program |
The Nano-Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for Infrared Exploration (Nano-JASMINE) is an astrometric microsatellite developed by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, with contributions by the University of Tokyo's Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory (ISSL). As of 2015[update], the satellite was planned for launch together with CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite)[3][4] in 2019.[5] However, this launch took place in December 2019 without Nano-JASMINE as one of the three piggyback payloads. Some sources named 2022 as the launch year of the satellite.[6] By 2023, the launch had been cancelled and the satellite is now displayed in Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum.[7]
