Adopted in a demonstration experiment by Kyushu University aimed at solving the space debris problem. MBF was chosen for the frame part of the experimental satellite!
The aluminum monocoque structure 'MBF: Monobase Frame', handled by Shimin Iron Works, has been adopted for research by the "Kyushu University Spacecraft Dynamics Laboratory." In this laboratory, a demonstration experiment is being conducted on the technology of measuring the orbit of "space debris" from Earth through photometric observations (light curve inversion), which is a challenge in space development. Specifically, the main mission involves combining attitude orbital observation data with light curves to demonstrate dynamic estimation through optical observations. Our MBF has been adopted as the frame component of this "Q-Li" project, and we are engaged in co-creation development to contribute to space debris research. **Features of MBF:** - Lightweight and highly flexible in design due to its monolithic construction through machining. - Fewer parts allow for a reduction in assembly labor. - Capable of high-quality mass production. *For details on the demonstration experiment and MBF, please refer to the "Catalog Download" below.*

basic information
**Mission Background** In recent years, the risk of space activities and environmental pollution in space due to space debris has increased, leading to initiatives aimed at Active Debris Removal (ADR). To conduct ADR, it is necessary to estimate the attitude and shape of the debris in advance, and dynamic estimation through light curve inversion has been proposed. Light curve inversion is a technique that estimates the attitude motion and shape of an object by observing variations in sunlight reflected by the object. It has also been used to estimate the shape of the asteroid Itokawa when the spacecraft Hayabusa was heading towards it. However, there are no existing demonstration cases that combine the actual attitude of debris with light curves. Therefore, for the sake of "space environment conservation" and "safe and secure space activities," it is essential to conduct on-orbit demonstrations of light curve inversion to make efforts toward improving the space environment more reliable. *For more details, please download and view the materials.*

Company information
Our company specializes in machining ADC12 through cutting. We excel at processes that "cut out" shapes from solid metal, rather than standard hole machining or contour machining. Our equipment primarily consists of Okuma machining centers, which are highly precise and suitable for prototyping. We are currently expanding new orders, focusing on our younger staff! We also sell ADC12 sheet materials and round bars.
