Suisen (すいせん), also known as Fukui Prefectural Satellite is an Earth observation satellite of the Fukui Satellite Technology & Research Association (FSTRA). It was developed mainly by companies within Fukui Prefecture, Japan. The satellite is named for Fukui's prefectural flower, narcissus.[1]

Overview

Suisen was developed by a consortium of seven companies, led by SEIREN CO.,LTD., and including Axelspace Corporation. Axelspace previously developed several small satellites, including Hodoyoshi 1 and RAPIS-1. Development began in 2015.[1]

Residents of Fukui Prefecture were invited to suggest the name for the satellite, and on 10 November 2019, Suisen was revealed as the chosen name.[2] Fukui Prefecture has used Hometown tax to collect the project's cost.[3] According to Fukui Prefecture, Suisen is the first case in Japan for a local government to lead a satellite project.[4][5]
