The ReshUCube-1 device of SibGU was created on the basis of the OrbiCraft-Pro SXC3 platform developed by Sputnix, its launch is planned to be carried out during this year
TASS, January 31. The ReshUCube-1 nanosatellite, which is scheduled to be launched in 2022, will help students and schoolchildren of the Krasnoyarsk Territory conduct experiments to study the Earth's magnetic field. This was reported to TASS by the press service of Sitronics Group.
As specified in the group, the ReshUCube-1 spacecraft of the Siberian State University of Science and Technology named after M. F. Reshetnev (SibGU) was created on the basis of the OrbiCraft-Pro SXC3 platform developed by Sputnix (part of the Sitronics Group). "With its help, students and schoolchildren of the Krasnoyarsk Territory plan to conduct experiments to study the Earth's magnetic field and the radiation situation in orbit," the press service noted.
As the group clarified, "the launch of the satellite mission is planned for 2022." The device will have the dimensions of CubeSat 3U (30x10x10 cm). The payload of the satellite will be a reconfigurable space laboratory with a wide range of sensors for experiments.
"Changing the experiment program, operating modes of equipment, recorded parameters and other indicators will occur by downloading software to the spacecraft directly during the flight," the press service added.
It is assumed that the researchers of the SibGU space laboratory will conduct experiments to improve the operation of equipment during flight, including with commercial element base and promising domestic space processors.
About the Space-PI program
The ReshUCube-1 space mission was implemented within the framework of the Space-PI program with the financial support of the Innovation Promotion Fund within the framework of the "Duty on the Planet" competition.
In February last year, the press service of Sputnix informed TASS about plans to create about 100 small spacecraft under the Space-PI program, which is being implemented jointly with the Russian Schoolchildren Movement. In December last year, Sputnix launched the first Russian site of serial assembly of satellite platforms of small spacecraft in the Skolkovo Technopark.
