Everyone knows that the Earth’s orbit is constantly moving a large number of artificial satellites. Space flying apparatuses revolving around our planet in a geocentric orbit, habitually associated with the inhabitants of large machines, however, few people know that a considerable amount also flies around the Earth the number of baby satellites, while their small dimensions are by no means talk about small opportunities.
The obvious advantages of a baby satellite over traditional low-cost aircraft and low weight, which reduces the labor required to start the machine. IN students of the Siberian Aerospace University named after Mikhail Reshetnev in Krasnoyarsk develop a satellite, which will have a weight of less than ten kilograms and dimensions only twice the size of a regular Rubik’s Cube.
The main purpose of this device will be working out innovative space technology. According to executives project, on the prototype, in particular, will be tested on-board control system with crystal processors. Besides, young domestic specialists plan to work out the organization wireless interaction of satellite equipment with the Earth and test satellite radiation protection.
Researchers report that their results will be used to develop large and medium space satellites, including those providing military and civil navigation and communication. In the Russian Federation, baby satellites developed without the use of secret technologies and standards. While some elements of domestic microelectronics specialists are forced to order and buy abroad, however soon the import substitution policy should concern Russia and space sphere.
