Horizon Satellite

Studying the effect of radiation on electronic components, testing an active orientation system based on flywheel engines, photographing the Earth's surface.

Studying the effect of radiation on electronic components, testing an active orientation system based on flywheel engines, photographing the Earth's surface, studying the capabilities of radio links using linear frequency keying and image transmission using fountain codes, studying the degradation of the characteristics of solar panels of various compositions under the influence of cosmic factors space.

Payloads:

• Electronic components research module;
• solar panel opening system;
• orientation system based on flywheel engines;
• transceivers of 3 bands; 
• camera.

The satellite's payload includes:

1. A solar panel module, designed to study the degradation of the characteristics of solar panels of various compositions under the influence of space factors;
2. Electronic components research module. It features advanced magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) chips that are tested to withstand space radiation. 
3. CubeSat mechanical orientation unit, implemented on the basis of electric motors. When controlling the flywheel system, the satellite is oriented along three axes;
4. Payload control system. It consists of transceiver modules operating in the VHF and S bands, a computing unit with a camera with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels.
