Lunar orbiter Kaguya (SELENE) has been successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center TNSC on September 14, 2007. On October 4 the Kaguya has been inserted into large elliptical orbit circulating the Moon after passing the phasing orbit rounding the Earth with 2.5 times. After lowering the apolune altitudes the Kaguya has reached the nominal observation orbit with 100 km circular and polar on October 18. On the way to nominal orbit two subsatellites Okina (Rstar) and Ouna (Vstar) have been released into the elliptical orbits of 100 km perilune, and 2400 km and 800 km apolune, respectively. After the checkout of bus system the extension of four sounder antennas with 15 m length and the 12 m mast for magnetometer, and deployment of plasma imager were successfully carried out. Nominal observation for seven lunar days has already passed and fourteen science instruments are acquiring data to study lunar science in mineralogy, geology, gravimetry, topography, and plasma environment.
