It is noted that the spacecraft are equipped with detectors of galactic cosmic rays (such rays originate from supernova remnants, formed as a result of a powerful explosion in the final stages of massive star evolution - editor's note www1.ru) "GAMVEKI" - analogues of the "GALS" equipment, which is part of the "Meteor-M" spacecraft.

Bauman spacecraft were launched into orbit in June 2023 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. The work was carried out within the framework of the "UniverSat" program.

Roscosmos also announced the creation of a new ground station "Orion-Ts" for communication with the International Space Station (ISS). This refers to the exchange of information between cosmonauts of the domestic segment of the ISS and specialists of the Mission Control Center (MCC), which is located in the Moscow region city of Korolev.

The new equipment was placed at the base of the "Reshetnev" company in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which is part of the corporation. Employees of the "Zheleznogorsk" command post will manage spacecraft that collect information for scientific and socio-economic purposes.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russian cosmonauts on the ISS launched a student nanosatellite, developed at Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
