We-Wish was a small CubeSat deployed from the International Space Station in October 2012, and re-entered in March 2013.[4] It was built by Meisei Electric[5] and/or Meisei Amateur Radio Club, and could transmit pictures from a small infrared camera via radio at 437.515 MHz.[6] We-Wish was deployed along with several other cubesats, from Kibo's robotic arm.[6]
It travelled to orbit aboard HTV-3 (Kounotori 3) with Raiko, FITSat 1, F-1, and TechEdSat.[5]
