Development started in 2000, and the flight model was completed in 2002. This XI-IV is the first handmade nano-satellite developed by ISSL. XI-IV is the world smallest satellite as of the launch date, which satisfies the CubeSat regulation of '10cm cube and 1kg'. In addition, XI-IV is just 100th satellite put into orbit by Japan.

XI-IV was launched on June 30, 2003, from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia. The launching vehicle is named 'ROCKOT', converted from the ballistic missile. This time we made a contract directly with Eurockot, which is the joint venture of Germany and Russia. XI-IV is an amateur satellite using amateur band. The following information would be required to receive data from XI-IV.
