Lab for Space Systems (LSS) in the Tokyo Institute of Technology successfully launched 1 kg pico-satellite CUTE-1 on June 30, 2003. Work is being collaborated with LSS for developing 50 kg-class satellite, Hu-ring, which can detect GRBs in 0.5 to 400 keV band. Such a small satellite has benefits of being quickly developed, flexibly designed at small cost. Furthermore, it provides good opportunities to test new/challenging technologies in space environment. It is planned to use avalanche photodiodes (APD), for the first time in space as a low-energy particle monitor. Basic characteristics of APDs will be tested thoroughly by the forthcoming pico-satellite, CUTE-2. The distribution of low-energy (E less than 30 keV) electrons/protons will be studied especially in South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) and auroral zone with CUTE-2.
