KuzSTU-1 is the second satellite of the Kuzbass State Technical University launched within the framework of the Space-π project.

The payload of the spacecraft consists of a control board, three vibration sensors (Globaltest AP2037-500) located in mutually perpendicular orientations on the frame of the MC, and an electromechanical emulator of a part with internal voltages.

The control board provides bidirectional data transfer between the Sputnix CubeSat (SXC) OrbiCraft-Pro platform and the KuzSTU-1 payload. 

The electromechanical emulator represents a support and a movable element in the form of an elastic beam, one end of which has a hinge attachment, and the other end is movable. The moving element is moved by a stepper motor with a gearbox. A load cell is also attached to the movable element to monitor the level of internal stresses.
