The world’s first solar sail IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) which is operated by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) lost communication with the ground station due to the power short-age on December 24, 2011. In order to acquire IKAROS again after the power comes back, we immediately initiated to predict the attitude and orbit for the spacecraft.
