On November 5, 2024, from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, along with the Ionosfera-M No. 1 and No. 2 heliogeophysical spacecraft, 6 small spacecraft (SSC) of the CubeSat format developed by Russian universities within the framework of the UniverSat program - the UniverSat-2024 cluster - were successfully launched into the target orbit on the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the Fregat upper stage.

The MKAs were developed by leading Russian universities to solve applied problems in the interests of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental honduras whatsapp resourceMonitoring (Roshydromet). The MKAs will provide targeted information that will supplement the data obtained by the hydrometeorological and heliogeophysical spacecraft of the Roscosmos State Corporation: Meteor-M, Elektro-L, Arktika-M, Ionosfera-M No. 1 and No. 2.

On board the small spacecraft of Russian universities there is targeted miniaturized heliogeophysical and meteorological equipment developed in cooperation with leading institutes of Roshydromet - FSBI "IPG" and FSBI "NITs" "Planeta", as well as institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences.


MKA "Khors" No. 3 and No. 4 are two MKAs of the 6UXL CubeSat format developed by the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Bauman Moscow State Technical University).

The MTUCI-1 spacecraft is the first 6UXL CubeSat format spacecraft developed by the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI);

The Vladivostok-1 spacecraft is the first 8U CubeSat spacecraft developed by the Far Eastern State University (FEFU);

The NORBI-3 spacecraft is a 6U CubeSat format satellite developed by the Novosibirsk State University (NSU);

The SamSat-Ionosphere satellite is a 3U CubeSat format satellite developed by the Samara University named after Korolev.

The separation systems, the full range of ground-based experimental testing, work on adapting the small spacecraft and integrating the UniverSat-2024 cluster with the Fregat upper stage at the Vostochny Cosmodrome were carried out by Orbital Systems LLC within the framework of industrial partnership agreements with universities.

Since 2019, the UniversSat-2024 cluster has become the fourth cluster of small spacecraft developed by Russian universities, successfully launched within the framework of the program. At present, the UniversSat group of small spacecraft comprises 22 small spacecraft providing information in the interests of state customers of the Roscosmos State Corporation.
