Abstract(in English) The Mission Demonstration Test Satellite-1 (MDS-1 or Tsubasa) has 2 batteries, which consist of 32 series of 20 Ah Ni-MH cells. These batteries showed good performance as the main power source of the satellite during esclipse, which solar power isn't available. The satellite, which was launched by H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 2 (H-IIA F2) on February 4, 2002, has ended its one year and eight month onorbit mission, which was much longer than the scheduled mission period of a year, and acquired various data. On September 25, 2003, the Tsubasa project sent a command signal to stop radio frequency (RF) emission from the satellite. In this paper, we report orbital performance of these Ni-MH batteries on MDS-1.
