Design and operation of a micro-spacecraft asteroid flyby mission: PROCYON
PROCYON (PRoximate Object Close flYby with Optical Navigation) is a 50kg-class micro-spacecraft developed by the University of Tokyo and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), to be launched in an Earth resonant trajectory at the end of 2014 as a secondary payload with Hayabusa 2 mission. The mission objective is to demonstrate low cost and applicability of a micro-spacecraft bus technology for deep space exploration and proximity flyby to asteroids performing optical navigation. This paper introduces the spacecraft and mission design for PROCYON, as well as, the operation strategy mainly for the deep-space cruising period.

Abstract
PROCYON (PRoximate Object Close flYby with Optical Navigation) is a 50kg-class micro-spacecraft developed by the University of Tokyo and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), to be launched in an Earth resonant trajectory at the end of 2014 as a secondary payload with Hayabusa 2 mission. The mission objective is to demonstrate low cost and applicability of a micro-spacecraft bus technology for deep space exploration and proximity flyby to asteroids performing optical navigation. This paper introduces the spacecraft and mission design for PROCYON, as well as, the operation strategy mainly for the deep-space cruising period.
