Development of long-range inter-satellite communication technology, monitoring of cosmic radiation and gamma-ray bursts.

Description

16 different satellite missions within the framework of the Space-PI project with the participation of students and schoolchildren.

The main task of the satellites is to develop the technology of inter-satellite communication over a long distance. During the mission, software will be tested, with the help of which it is possible to interact with vehicles in orbit to perform joint actions.

Satellites also register gamma-ray flashes using DECOR-2 (Cosmic Radiation Detector), which was manufactured at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University (NIYaF MSU).
