The Bonch-Bruevich University from St. Petersburg has launched its experimental satellite from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. It will be used to develop technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) and to monitor drone flights on Earth.
The satellite is planned to be in orbit for two years. University students will be able to analyze the results of its work and conduct various experiments.
In addition, RC2336 will be used to monitor drone flights and agrodrones. It will also be used to photograph the Earth's surface.
Specialists checked the satellite before launch, which was carried out with the Soyuz-2.1b rocket with the Fregat booster. The satellite has been successfully taken under control in space.
It should be remembered that the concept of the Internet of Things involves connecting physical devices to the Network that can exchange data and interact with each other. This includes household appliances and industrial equipment.
