Abstract(in English)	This paper describes outline of the piggy-back satellite "INDEX" for demonstration of advanced satellite technologies as well as for observation of fine structure of aurora. INDEX satellite will be launched in 2002 by Japanese H2-A. The satellite is mainly controlled by the high-speed, fault-tolerant on-board RICS processor(three-voting system of SH-3). The attitude control is a compact system of three-axis stabilization. Although the size of INDEX is small(50Kg class), several newly-developed technologies are applied to the satellite system, including silicon-on-insulator devices, variable emittance radiator, solar-concentrated paddles, lithium-ion battery, and GPS receiver with all-sky antenna-coverage.
