STARS-II was launched by an H-IIA rocket, flying in the 202 configuration, as a secondary payload aboard the launch of the GPM Core Observatory on 27 February 2014. After two months in orbit, STARS-II reentered the atmosphere on 26 April 2014. Flight PlanThe satellite split into two parts, connected by a {{convert|300|m|adj=on}} tether, to conduct its experiments which consisted of recording a video of tether deployment and using the tether to deorbit the satellite. The spacecraft consisted of a {{convert|5|kg|adj=on}} base vehicle, with dimensions of {{convert|160|x|160|x|253|mm|in}} and a {{convert|4|kg|adj=on}} vehicle at the end of the tether measuring {{convert|160|x|160|x|158|mm|in}}.[3] The electrodynamic tether was made from ultra-thin wires of stainless steel and aluminium.[4] One objective of this program was to demonstrate possible technology for de-orbiting space debris.[5] ResultsSTARS-II was successfully launched at 3:37am (JST) on February 28, 2014 (February 27 UTC), and amateur radio downlink showed that it successfully separated from the carrier vehicle, however, the experiment was only partially successful, and tether deployment could not be confirmed. Initial radio data suggested that the solar arrays and antennas were not deployed. The beacon from the daughter spacecraft became weak, and after several weeks was no longer received. It was inferred that solar battery power was low due to its small body. However, the beacon from the mother spacecraft later became to be strong, and it was inferred that the solar arrays and antennas were deployed by restarting. However, the Command and Data Handling subsystem did work, possibly due to radiation.[6] The orbit decayed from 350 km to 280 km in 50 days, considerably faster than the other cubesats launched on the same mission, which is indirect indication that the tether deployed, increasing the drag. However, telescopic photography of the satellite from the ground showed the satellite as a single point, rather than two objects. The experimenters suggest that this may have been due to the tether extending, but being tangled by rebound.[6] Follow OnA follow-on to the STARS and STARS-II satellites, STARS-C (Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite-Cube) has been announced as a satellite to be launched from the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station.[7][8] See also{{Portal|Spaceflight}}
