The presentation of the socio-cultural project “Octopus Octo-Pax” by Russian artist Nastya Miro and the university satellite on which the art object will be sent into orbit took place at the office of the private space company SPUTNIX. The goal of the project is to draw the attention of society and youth audiences to environmental problems and pollution of the near-Earth space. In the company's laboratory, engineers presented a satellite that will be used as part of the Octo-Pax Octopus project. Inside, the device will also be equipped with a security camera aimed at the art object. This will make it possible to remotely monitor the space travel of the installation.
