## Mission description

Quoted from Launch Library 2: JAXA-manifested rideshare of eight separate spacecraft that includes educational small sats, an ocean monitoring satellite, a demonstration satellite for ultra-small multispectral cameras, and a deployable antenna that can be packed tightly using origami folding techniques and unfurled to 25 times its size. The satellites were originally planned to launch with RAISE-4 on a Japanese Epsilon-S rocket, but the Epsilon-S was heavily delayed due to test firing failures. The 8 satellites are: \* MAGNARO-II \* KOSEN-2R \* WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II \* FSI-SAT2 \* OrigamiSat-2 \* Mono-Nikko \* ARICA-2 \* PRELUDE
