The satellite is composed of:
a micro-satellite platform with common equipment.
This platform was designed for about 100 kg mass satellites. Its position control uses a star sensor, some gyrometers and reaction wheels. The orbit control will be done by an hydrazine system.
The on-board management centralised, build using a 10 MIPS micro processor T805. A mass memory is available for the data storage. The telemetries and the telecommande use CCSDS standard.
a 8 Gb mass memory a high rate telemetry theAOC-GPS experiment (Autonomous Orbit Control by GPS) a photonic setting off for a pyrotechnical system (PYROLASER) the thermic control coating qualifying (THERME)
a scientific component which includes the following sensors:
IMSC: a triaxial set of 3 magnetic sensors (Search Coil), ICE: a 4 electrical sensor system, IAP: a plasma analyser, ISL: a Langmuir probe IDP: a particle detector.
The Launcher that will be used is a DNEPR which would be launched from Baikonour with other passengers.
