| Abstract: | SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer) project started as a joint mission of the former ISAS (Institute of Space
and Astronautical Science) and the former NASDA (National Space Development Agency: the two organizations were merged into
JAXA in 2002) of Japan in 1998. The launch target is rescheduled for 2006 due to delay of completion of launch vehicle, H-IIA.
The SELENE project is now under a sustained design phase. The flight model components were manufactured, and the interface
tests between the bus-system and the mission instruments were completed by the end of March 2004. The functional checks and
calibration for the flight model components are being carried out at present. From the beginning of 2005, the final assembly
tests will start. |
