We-Wish was a small commercial CubeSat which was deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) in October 2012 and which deorbited in March 2013.^[4] It was built by the Japanese technology company Meisei Electric^[5] and the Meisei Amateur Radio Club, and could transmit pictures taken by a small infrared camera via radio at 437.515 MHz.^[6] We-Wish travelled to orbit aboard HTV-3 (Kounotori 3) in July 2012, along with other CubeSats including Raiko, FITSat 1, F-1, and TechEdSat.^[5] It was deployed, along with the other HTV-3 CubeSats, from the ISS Kibo module's robotic arm.^[6]
