Mitsubishi Electric hit with suspension for billpaddingThe Yomiuri Shimbun

The Defense Ministry and two other government entities have suspendedMitsubishi Electric Corp. as a designated contractor because the company hasbeen found to have inflated invoices, the ministry has announced.

The ministry, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the CabinetSatellite Intelligence Center made the announcements and suspended thecompany Friday for unspecified periods. The ministry added that Mitsubishicontacted it to admit the allegations the same day.

The government entities allege the company inflated the number of workers anddays required for projects in contracts and inflated invoices sent to the threeentities.

The three said they will investigate the company's actions further, including howmany projects were padded, the amounts of overestimated payments and otherdetails.

According to the ministry, it received tips around autumn last year thatMitsubishi Electric was billing improperly on contracts.

On Jan. 17, officials of the ministry inspected the Tokyo-based company'sKamakura plant in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The officials confirmed the quoted numbers of workers and project days werehigher than actual figures in the production of Type 03 medium range surface-to-air missiles.

In fiscal 2009, the ministry contracted the company to produce the missiles at acost of about 33.6 billion yen.

The ministry said it is unclear how much the amount was inflated.

The ministry plans to conduct a special investigation into the company startingon Monday to confirm whether similar acts had been made in other contracts.

Mitsubishi Electric provided missiles, radar and other defense equipment to theSelf-Defense Forces.

In fiscal 2010, Mitsubishi Electric's ministry contracts were worth about 119.7billion yen, making it second-largest defense contractor behind MitsubishiHeavy Industries Ltd. for that fiscal year.

JAXA and the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center have also received similartips, according to the entities. After they asked Mitsubishi Electric to examinethe allegations, the company reported there was evidence of wrongdoing, theorganizations said.

Since fiscal 2003, JAXA has had more than 1,000 contracts, worth about 320billion yen, with the company. The contracts included the manufacture of theKounotori-series unmanned space cargo transfer vehicles for the InternationalSpace Station.

Since fiscal 2002, the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center has contracted thecompany for research and development of information-gathering satellites,mainly used to monitor military facilities in North Korea.

Both JAXA and the center said details about the bills were unknown.

A Mitsubishi Electric spokesman said, "It's a fact that the costs of other projectswere added to the contracts in question to pad the bills, but we can't commentfurther as we are still investigating the case."

8/15/12 11:13 AMSpaceDev Phase Six Executive Study, 2008: ILOA

Page 1 of 2http://iloa.org/spdv_study6.html

Objective

The ILO Founders Meeting statement included a set of six goals to be pursued by ILOAimmediately, one of which dictated “Establishing the ILO science and communicationsrequirements and instrumentation.” This task is critical in defining the essence of theILO mission, laying the foundation for detailed design and fabrication of the payload,which comprises the astrophysical and observational instruments as well as thecommunication systems. The payload is the heart of the mission, and its definition willdrive the design of many other aspects of ILO. Furthermore, it is expected thatincreased clarity of the mission’s specific functionality will be beneficial in terms ofgenerating interest and support for ILO. Thus, the preliminary payload definition wasdeemed the highest priority engineering need, and was designated as SpaceDev’s nextproject for ILO.

Method

The Preliminary Payload Definition Study plan included the following steps:

A. Identify Observation Goals: The ILO is envisioned to have two broadcategories of functionality: 1) observation; and 2) communication. Generally,the variability in potential observation instruments is of a higher degree thanthat of potential communications systems. Also, it is much more likely thatparticular choices of observation instruments will drive the specification of thecommunications equipment than vice versa. Therefore, the observationinstruments were addressed first, beginning with identification andprioritization of the observation goals. The identification of observation goalsincluded both a literature survey and a survey of the science community.B. Select Science Instruments: After identifying and prioritizing theobservation goals, the study focused on analyzing options for observationinstruments that could be constructed from Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)components, and that would most efficiently meet as many of the high prioritygoals as possible considering the mission constraints.C. Identify Communications Goals: The communications systems shouldsupport maintenance of spacecraft health, operation of observationinstruments, delivery to ground systems of observation data, and commercialcommunication activities.D. Select Communications Systems: Potential communications systems wereanalyzed, again aiming for low-cost COTS-based solutions.E. Select Conceptual Payload Physical Configuration: The physical packaging ofthe hardware that makes up the ILO payload is an important consideration.The instruments and antennas have important requirements for range ofmotion and pointing precision, and also must not physically interfere with eachother. Meanwhile, the design must strive for low mass and compact packaging,while exhibiting high reliability and tolerance to stresses such as launch andlanding loads.F. Develop Requirements: Ultimately, the ILO mission needs a requirementsdatabase to guide and justify choices in the design and manufacture of thevarious hardware and software systems. These requirements will evolvethrough an iterative process throughout the mission development, but it ishelpful to begin laying them out early, so that the various systems are

designed and built in a coherent manner. The study delivered the first iterationof the requirements database for the ILO payload.

Results

The survey of the scientific community revealed clear interest across the full spectra ofinvestigation categories and observed wavelengths. There is a particular enthusiasmfor sky surveys, motivated by the profound and unexpected discoveries that inevitablyemerge from such efforts. In terms of wavelengths, the preference is somewhatconcentrated in the mid-regions from sub-millimeter (sub-mm) through Ultra-violet(UV).

The literature survey uncovered many novel proposals for Moon-based astronomy, butmost require very large, complex missions beyond the planned scope of the ILO, interms of both cost and development time. However, again, it is clear that while thereare some skeptics, there are many proponents of Moon-based astronomy, and thereare a number of distinct advantages of the Moon over Earth and even space (e.g.Earth orbit), as a location from which to make astrophysical observations.

After substantial research and trade studies, SpaceDev presented ILOA with a varietyof options regarding the architecture of the ILO payload. The final recommendationwas that the primary instrument be a 14-inch aperture telescope to observe UV,Visible and Infra-red (IR), with full high precision pointing and tracking capability.Promising secondary instruments were identified as: UV / Visible spectrograph; X-Rayimager; Very Low Frequency (VLF) tri-pole sensor. Recommended communicationsequipment included: a two-way local S-band system (for rovers, Moon-orbitingspacecraft, etc.) with a fixed omni-directional antenna; a dedicated two-way Earthcomm Ku-band system with a 0.8 meter dish having sufficient pointing capability totrack Earth, and achieving a downlink data rate of 1 Mbps in the baseline scenario.

Conclusion

The recommended design would take good advantage of SpaceDev’s generalphilosophy, leveraging COTS components to achieve high-value performance at amodest cost. The logical next step in the ILO payload development process would be adetailed system design to the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) level.
