Rstar Separation from Kaguya (1) - before separation

KAGUYA consists of the Main Orbiter and two small satellites (Relay Satellite and VRAD Satellite). The Main Orbiter will reach the vicinity of the Moon. Once it has reached the Moon, it will be placed into a peripolar orbit at an altitude of 100 Km. The Relay Satellite will be placed in an elliptic orbit at an apogee of 2400 Km, and will relay communications between the Main Orbiter and the ground station.
The VRAD Satellite will play a significant role in measuring the gravitational field around the Moon.
The Main Orbiter will be employed for about one year and will observe the entire Moon.
