The first Russian-Chinese university satellite "Friendship ATURK" is preparing to launch in November from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. It was assembled by students from Amur State University and Harbin Polytechnic University as part of the implementation of the PRC and Russia cooperation program in the space industry for 2023-2027.
The 12-unit CubeSat with 10 cm cubic units is equipped with the "Photon-Amur" module from Amur State University, which allows studying the impact of space factors on the operation of photovoltaic converters. Nanofilms for them were developed by young scientists from AmSU in the Surface Physics Laboratory of the K.E. Tsiolkovsky Scientific and Educational Center.
Photovoltaic converters are an integral part of any solar panel. The efficiency of the panel depends largely on the material from which the photovoltaic converters are made. We plan to use our development in space. Today, solar panels based on gallium arsenide compounds are used in space in low Earth orbits. They have high efficiency, but they are expensive. Our material, if successfully tested, will significantly reduce the cost of satellite production.
The satellite is also equipped with a high-resolution camera from Harbin Polytechnic University. The camera can capture a detailed area of 2.5 meters from a distance of 500 km above the Earth.
