Japan low altitude satellite registered in Guinness World Records

"How low Can you go....!"

All the best to Japan Today into the new year !

It should be used to spy on N. Korea and China military.

Japan's JAXA space agency sure is making some history, isn't it? The Hayabusa mission to Ryuku and now this.

This is cause for celebration! Break out the MOCHI!

Congratulations to Japan!

Congrats to JAXA for your achievement.

When can we expect a follow-up?

This is a far better use of government monies (our taxes) than supporting Sake exports , for former has the potential to benefit many, whereas the latter only benefits a few.

It still doesn't make up for blowing the consecutive kendama record on national TV.

It flew at the low altitude from Sep 23 until Sep 30, burning up in the atmosphere on Oct. 1st. Was it worth spending the money for a seven-day mission?

Read the article. The mission started in 2017.

Skylab should have had that claim... or any other dropping out of orbit Satellite....

The description needs to be altered, to something like the "Sustained, Intended Low Altitude Orbit"...
