Abyss-2 - from the Japanese language article it looks like it's carrying an amateur radio payload and will launch this December. Does anyone have any further information ? http://amsat-uk.org/2014/09/01/japanese-asteroid-mission-to-carry-amateur-ra...
Also there appears to be a Japanese Lunar Orbiter under development which will carry an amateur radio transponder http://kit-okuyama-lab.com/en/sinen2/sinen2-outline/
