Project Description

SamSat-Ionosphere is a 3U CubeSat nanosatellite, developed, manufactured, and tested by the Interuniversity Department of Space Research at Samara University. It is an enhanced version of the SamSat-ION nanosatellite, which was launched into orbit on June 27, 2023. The launch of Samsat-Ionosphere was carried out on November 5 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. SamSat-Ionosphere Nanosatellite has Established Communication.

SamSat-Ionosfera is designed to solve several scientific and technological tasks. The scientific objectives of the nanosatellite include:

• Investigating the parameters of the upper ionosphere, plasma states, and the Earth's magnetic field along the satellite’s trajectory;
• Studying the features of the nanosatellite's motion dynamics under three-axis gravitational orientation, achieved through the selection of design parameters (passive stabilization) and the use of magnetic actuators (active stabilization).

The technological objectives of the nanosatellite include:

• Testing the technology for high-precision spatial-temporal referencing of scientific measurements;
• Verifying algorithms for preliminary processing and compression of scientific data onboard the nanosatellite;
• Verifying algorithms for preliminary processing and compression of scientific data onboard the nanosatellite;
• Testing the technology for opening transformable nanosatellite structures;
• In-flight testing of the second version of the SamSat platform’s service systems;
• In-flight testing of the plasma parameter sensor;
• In-flight testing of the navigation receiver.

For radio amateurs:

The SamSat-Ionosphere (callsign RS75S) beacon signal is automatically transmitted at regular intervals on a frequency of 437.4 MHz (FSK1k2 AX.25). The terms of the QSL program and the structure of the beacon packets can be found on the page QSL program of the SamSat-Ionosphere (RS75S).
