The
Earth remote sensing microsatellite with a TV camera of visible range. The first
Ukrainian microsatellite built on the basis of technical and technological solutions
of a unified microplatform of MC-1 class; it is an experimental satellite and
serves mainly to try-out the space platform. The microsatellite is created under
the National Space Program.
Launch was 24.12.04 together with Sich-1M satellite on Cyclene-3 launch vehicle.
The microsatellite is equipped with small-size onboard TV camera of visible
range (MÁTK-BD) with data transmission to the Earth via radio channel. The information
from the satellite is planned to be used to solve the tasks of remote sensing
in the interests of topography and meteorology.
