Kagawa University (香川大学, Kagawa Daigaku) is a national university in Takamatsu, Kagawa, Japan. The university was established in 1949 as a national university after the consolidation and reorganization of the Kagawa Normal School, the Kagawa Normal School for Youth and the Takamatsu College of Economics (formerly the Takamatsu Higher School of Commerce).[2]

The Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite (STARS, aka STARS-1, aka KUKAI, COSPAR 2009-002G, SATCAT 33498[3]) robotic spacecraft developed by the Kagawa Satellite Development Project in the Kagawa University consisted of mother and daughter satellites connected by a tether.[4] The main mission was: separate the mother and daughter satellites deploying the tether between them in the process, document the deployment of the tether using an onboard camera and demonstrate that the daughter satellite can perform attitude control using the tether and a robotic arm. The satellite also had amateur radio capabilities.[3]
STARS was launched 23 January 2009 as a secondary payload aboard H-IIA flight 15, which also launched GOSAT.[5] It successfully separated from the rocket, but the tether failed to deploy "due to the launch lock trouble of the tether reel mechanism."[6] As of June 2022, the satellite is still in orbit.[3]
STARS-IIedit
A follow-on Space Tethered Autonomous Robotic Satellite II, STARS-II,[7] launched on 27 February 2014 as a secondary payload aboard an H-2A rocket. The experiment was only partially successful, and tether deployment could not be confirmed.[8]
