KSAT-2, also known as Hayato-2 was a Japanese satellite constructed by Kagoshima University as a reflight of its KSAT mission. It has a size of 100x100x100mm (without extendible antenna boom) and is built around a standard 1U cubesat bus. The primary satellite payload is a radio-frequency water vapor detector for climatology research.
