Kuzbass-300 spacecraft is the first satellite launched into space in the history of the Kemerovo region. The CubeSat creation is devoted to the 300th anniversary of one of the largest and most developed regions of Russia - the Kemerovo region–Kuzbass. It was developed jointly by Kemerovo scholars, students and scientists of the Kuzbass State Technical University (KuzSTU) on the OrbiCraft-Pro SXC3 satellite platform of SPUTNIX.
A camera with a spatial resolution of 15-50 m (from a height of 600 km) and an image resolution of 1280x760 pixels conducts remote sensing of the Earth. The device itself, in addition to data from the camera, transmits voice messages and postcards to the Earth for the 300th anniversary of Kuzbass.
