Skoltech-B1 and Skoltech-B2 were created at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech).
The main task of the satellites is to work on the technology of inter-satellite communication over a long distance.
The satellites also register gamma-ray flashes using DECOR-2 (Cosmic Radiation Detector), which was manufactured at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University (SINP MSU).
Satellite tracking by stations of the international amateur radio network SatNOGS: Skoltech-B1 and Skoltech-B2.
