Novosibirsk State University (NSU) has started designing its fourth satellite, which will be launched into orbit in the next two years.
The satellite will be used for Roshydromet's tasks in the field of space monitoring in collaboration with Roscosmos. It will be a CubeSat format device, consisting of six units with a size of 10 cm and a weight of up to 2 kg. The new satellite will incorporate modern solutions in the field of software and component base.
Previously, NSU developed three satellites that have already been launched into orbit, the last of which was launched last year.
The university also became the main executor of the project to implement the global Earth monitoring system "Grifon" and continues to design and assemble small spacecraft. In total, NSU plans to create 136 satellites.
Earlier,www1.rureported that the first batch of devices for the global Earth monitoring system "Grifon" was manufactured at Novosibirsk University.
