239PTS Spacecraft

Amateur and Educational missions connected with children. Monitor of gamma-rays. VERA ablative pulsed plasma engine.

Main missions of this satellite are Amateur and Educational connected with school children.

Other mission is Space Research. All data from the scientific payload will be open to amateurs and children from school will be researching collected data from the payload. Amateur Mission (CW, Voice, SSTV, SSDV, Digipeater, Education in radio for school kids) Educational (working with collecting data, satellite telecommunication, satellite monitoring) Scientific (Scintillator detector for detection of gamma-ray bursts and similar high-energy counterparts of violent astrophysical events at the edges of Universe).

239Alferov was developed for the Space-π program of the Foundation for Assistance to Innovation, commissioned by Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239 and the Alferov Physical-Technical School. It is equipped with a gamma-ray spectrometer co-developed by Geoscan and the Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a VERA plasma thruster developed by the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. VERA will be used to test orbital manoeuvring capabilities on small CubeSats.
