The «Horizon» smallsat was developed by the team of Baltic State Technical University «Voenmeh» D. F. Ustinov on the basis of the Geoscan 3U satellite platform.
The payload includes:
1) Solar panel module designed to study the degradation of the characteristics of different solar panels under the influence of space factors;
2) Electronic components research module. It includes advanced magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) chips, which are tested for stability in conditions of space radiation;
3) The 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 management system. It consists of transceiver modules operating in the VHF and S bands, and a computing unit with a camera resolution of 3840x2160 pixels.
