Russian Technological University (RTU) MIREA plans to launch its own spacecraft RTU MIREA1 into orbit by the end of 2023. The work is being done within the framework of the 'Planet Duty' program, the purpose of which is to involve schoolchildren and students in activities related to space exploration.
The spacecraft will be equipped with scientific equipment, including a GLONASS/GPS signal receiver. With the help of special equipment, project participants will be able to study the troposphere and ionosphere, as well as master the technology of high-speed data transmission to Earth. It is expected that RTU MIREA1 will be launched to an altitude of 540 km (for comparison - the altitude of the orbit of the International Space Station is about 400 km).
The university reminded of the cooperation with the group of companies 'Geoscan', which, in addition to producing drones, is engaged in the production of spacecraft. Thanks to such a partnership, noted in the RTU MIREA, students will have the opportunity to get acquainted with astronautics, conduct experiments in orbit, and after completing university, to move into the aerospace industry.
The Russian program 'Planet Duty' combines contests and projects for young people in the space field. The project website announces contests for 2023/2024, including space robotics and operational satellite monitoring.
