The Space Technology Demonstration Research Center in JAXA has researched on the development of 50 to 100 kg class small satellites which is used to carry newly-developed components and devices into space and to check their normal work. There is a plan to develop several types of such small 'space demonstration satellites' as a series. MicroLabSat, the first one of the series, is a 50 kg class of spin stabilized satellite launched in December 2002 as a piggy back satellite on H-2A rocket. It has successfully completed all the planned experiments and continues healthy operation. Following MicroLabSat, MicroLabSat 2 is being developed with the three axis stabilized attitude control system. The results of two satellites will be brought into the following space demonstration satellites of the series. The fruitful results of MicroLabSat and the recent status of developing MicroLabSat 2 will be expressed in this paper.
