About

The MicroSat-M is a scientific microsatellite developed by Yuzhnoye SDO for observing dynamic processes in Earth’s ionosphere and conducting technological experiments in the space environment using the Ionosat-Micro scientific equipment complex. Weighing 195 kg with a 75 kg payload, it operates in a circular sun-synchronous orbit at 668 km altitude with 98.1 degree inclination. The scientific payload includes a Wave Complex measuring electric current density and fields from 0.1 Hz to 40 kHz, a fluxgate magnetometer with plus or minus 65,000 nT range and 0.01 nT resolution, particle density analyzers for both neutral and electronic components, and a radio frequency analyzer covering 20 kHz to 15 MHz. The satellite features experimental solar arrays testing advanced GaAs/Ge and InGaP/GaAs/Ge photovoltaic cells with 21.5 to 27.5 percent efficiency, and an ammonia propulsion system for orbital maintenance over a 3-year design life.
