  • Abstract
    Outline and in-orbit verification of a Ku-band transmitter installed in a Pico-satellite are described. We had successfully caught telemetry signals after eleven days of the satellite launch. Despite of a limited operation period, we have confirmed that a specially developed Ku-band transmitter was survived in space environment during eighteen days.
