The KAI-1 smallsat is the first school satellite from Tatarstan. Engineers of the company «NILAKT DOSAAF» (Kaluga) and students of the «Engineering Boarding Lyceum» KNITU-KAI worked on its creation. Students and employees of the Institute of Radioelectronics, Photonics and Digital Technologies of KNITU-KAI took part in the creation of the payload.
KAI-1 records the meteorological situation and conducts remote sensing. The CubeSat carries out synchronous shooting from five cameras and transmits the images to the ground complex. In the future, the images will make a panorama of the space around the satellite. Also, a temperature meter on fiber-optic sensors is being tested on board in space conditions.
Satellite tracking by stations of the international amateur radio network SatNOGS.
