Electron | Kakushin Rising (JAXA Rideshare)

JAXA-manifested rideshare of eight separate spacecraft that includes educational small sats, an ocean monitoring satellite, a demonstration satellite for ultra-small multispectral cameras, and a deployable antenna that can be packed tightly using origami folding techniques and unfurled to 25 times its size. The satellites were originally planned to launch with RAISE-4 on a Japanese Epsilon-S rocket, but the Epsilon-S was heavily delayed due to test firing failures. The 8 satellites are: * MAGNARO-II * KOSEN-2R * WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II * FSI-SAT2 * OrigamiSat-2 * Mono-Nikko * ARICA-2 * PRELUDE

history Launch Timeline

expand_circle_down
T-02:00

Auto Sequence

The launch computer takes full control of the countdown.

T-00:02

Ignition

All 9 Rutherford engines on the first stage ignite.

T-00:00

Liftoff

Hold-down clamps release and the rocket clears the pad (Launch Complex 1 in NZ or LC-2 in Virginia).

T+01:00

Supersonic

The vehicle accelerates past the speed of sound.

T+01:10

Max Q

Peak aerodynamic pressure (maximum mechanical stress).

T+02:22

MECO

Main Engine Cutoff: first stage engines shut down.

T+02:25

Stage Separation

Pneumatic pushers separate the first stage from the second stage.

T+02:29

Stage 2 Ignition

The single vacuum-optimized Rutherford engine ignites.

T+03:04

Fairing Jettison

The payload fairing separates.

T+06:30

Battery Hot Swap

Second stage batteries are jettisoned and the system switches to a fresh battery to complete ascent.

T+08:55

SECO

Second stage engine cutoff; the vehicle reaches a parking orbit.

T+09:05

Kick Stage Separation

The payload stack (Kick Stage) separates from the second stage.

T+50:00 (approx)

Curie Engine Burn

The Curie engine on the Kick Stage fires to circularize the orbit.

T+52:00

Payload Deployment

Satellites are released.

T+60:00+

Deorbit Burn

The Kick Stage performs a burn to reenter and burn up in the atmosphere.

T+07:40

Drogue Parachute

Drogue parachute deploys to stabilize the booster during descent (recovery missions).

T+08:30

Main Parachute

Main parachute deploys to slow the booster for splashdown (recovery missions).

T+18:00

Splashdown

Booster splashes down in the ocean for recovery by ship (recovery missions).
