SamSat-ION

The SamSat-ION nanosatellite is a CubeSat 3U satellite developed, manufactured and tested at the Interuniversity Department of Space Research of Samara University.

SamSat-ION is designed to solve the following scientific problems:

− study of the parameters of the upper ionosphere, the state of the plasma and the Earth's magnetic field along the motion trajectory;
− study of the features of the motion dynamics of a satellite with external structural elements while providing a three-axis gravitational orientation due to the choice of design parameters (passive stabilization) and magnetic executive controls (active stabilization).
