Stray satellite

On 23rd January, H2A flight 15 lifted off perfectly. H2A is Japan's rockets for the purpose of launching satellite into the outer space. In flight 15, there were 5 satellite including "Ibuki".

There were SDS-1 (まいど1号"Maido ichigoh"), KKS-1 and かがやき(Kagayaki). SDS-1 made by small businesses in Osaka. KKS-1 made by Technical college student in Tokyo. Both of them are trying to lift off the 2nd satellite SDS-2 and SDS-2. Kagayaki made by private company. And it brings message from children patients of rare intractable diseases in all over the world.

But there is one big problem. Lift off was success but they couldn't find Kagayaki. They can't receive the signal from Kagayaki yet...
About 2 weeks passed after its lift off, they can't find where is the satellite. Of course, other satellites are working well. But only the Kagayaki is not working well.

I heard, some amateur radio operators are trying to find Kagayaki. I hope they will find  Kagayaki as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
