Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An ultra-small satellite AUTcube2 equipped with LED units for visual light communication is described. The satellite has a shape of 10-cm cube, and was launched in October 2018 as a H-IIA sub-payload. One of the on-board LED units was designed to watch with naked eyes from the ground. We describe optical and electrical configurations of the LED units, and the results of ground test of the units.
