Orizuru

 1990-013B


The H-I LE-5 second stage from the Momo-1b flight carried a supplementary technology experiment called DEBUT, the Deployable Boom and Umbrella Test. It was named Orizuru (an origami crane) after launch.

DEBUT was built by NAL. The satellite was a 0.44m 26-sided polyhedron similar to the JAS/Fuji satellites, with a 0.2m box containing the boom system on top. The umbrella deployed at the end of the boom was a test for aerodyamic braking; it was 0.90m dia when open. Mass of the umbrella was 4 kg. The 5 kg boom is 1.20m long deployed; overall deployed height 1.94m. Total mass 50.3kg. The spacecraft operated 10 days.

The boom was deployed and retracted 34 times and the ADB was opened and closed 52 times.
