This paper describes the initial on-orbit results of the small scientific satellite 'INDEX' (INnovative technology Demonstration EXperiment; REIMEI) for aurora observation and demonstration of advanced satellite technologies. REIMEI is a small satellite with 72 kg mass, and is provided with three-axis attitude control capabilities for aurora observation. REIMEI was launched into a nearly sun synchronous polar orbit on August 23rd, 2005 (UT) from Baikonur, Kazakstan by Dnepr rocket. REIMEI satellite functions work satisfactorily in the orbit. The first imaging observations of aurora were successfully performed above the southern polar region in September 16th, 2005.
