The Russian RuVDS firm introduced that the nanosatellite launched into house final 12 months has efficiently carried out its mission and transmitted a considerable amount of knowledge again to the earth.
“The nanosatellite we launched into house final 12 months efficiently carried out its mission, and floor stations around the globe acquired 630 knowledge packages. Throughout its operation, the satellite tv for pc flew a distance of 244 million kilometers in house, which implies that it It has accomplished roughly 5,500 orbits in house.
He added: “There are some dangers at each stage of satellite tv for pc operation, however the satellite tv for pc remains to be in orbit right now. Initially, we had no long-term plans for the operation of this satellite tv for pc. It was developed in such a method that the dimensions of this satellite tv for pc is barely ( 5/5/10) cm.
Chaplin identified that the satellite tv for pc was despatched into house on June 27 final 12 months and was launched as an extra payload along with the Russian Meteor-M 2-3 satellite tv for pc. The satellite tv for pc encountered some technical points because it left its launch container, however these have been rapidly resolved and the satellite tv for pc continued to operate usually.
RuVDS has beforehand stated that it’s engaged on a mission to permit the transport of nanosatellites (measurement 5/5/5 cm) in house cargo containers designed particularly for the launch of nanosatellites, which can facilitate the longer term use of a single House rocket.
