Abstract

This chapter shows the brief introduction of STARS (Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite) series CubeSats and MicroSats. The STARS project purposes to evaluate and to verify a space mechanical control system by a university satellite. The goal of the STARS project is to perform two kinds of missions. One is space debris removal using orbital transfer by tether control. The other is orbital space elevator, which can be applied to orbital transportation, transfer, and the first step for space elevator. The development of STARS series satellites began from 2005 and 5 satellites, STARS (2009), STARS-II (2014), STARS-C (2016), Stars-AO (2018) and STARS-Me(2018), were launched and one satellite, STARS-E is under development. In this chapter, we explain the concept, design, space experimental results, and present state of these satellites.
