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. It was built by the Japanese technology company Meisei Electric and the Meisei Amateur Radio Club, and could transmit pictures taken by a small infrared camera via radio at 437.515 MHz. 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. It was deployed, along with the other HTV-3 CubeSats, from the ISS Kibo module's robotic arm.
