DASH

 2002-003B


The ISAS Demonstrator of Atmospheric Reentry System at Hypervelocity (DASH) is a secondary payload on H-IIA-F2. It will deorbit from GTO at high (hyperbolic) velocity. The mission is a test for MUSES-C. It was meant to reenter at 10.2 km/s between -18.5 and -16.5 at 200 km (corresponding to -423 x 34153 x 28.5 to -574 x 34305 x 28.5) and land in Africa (Mauritania? at about 8.5W 17.2N. in the Hodh el Gharbi region. In the event it failed to separate from VEP-3.

DASH consists of a hexagonal bus with a deorbit motor (DOM), and a blunt cone reentry capsule, and two DFM thrusters for orbit adjust at apogee. The size of DASH is 0.99m x 0.70m x 0.54m. including the comms antenna; bus size is 0.7 x 0.5m. Mass of the orbiter and DOM is 70 kg. The reentry capsule has a mass of 16 kg and is 0.40m dia, 0.20m high. A 3 kg adapter is mounted to the H-2A upper adapter.

In Japanese DASH is
