A Film About Geoscan-Edelveis: The Story of Geoscan’s First Satellite

Two years ago, our company embarked on its first journey into space: on August 9, 2022, we successfully launched our first satellite, Geoscan-Edelveis, into orbit from the Baikonur Cosmodrome!

Russia completes first national successful CubeSat thruster trials

August 9 marks exactly one year since our first satellite, Geoscan-Edelveis, blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on its journey to the orbit. To celebrate the anniversary, we have completed the flight test program and successfully trialed the cold gas thruster for CubeSats in outer space – the first achievement of this kind in the Russian history.

A new frontier for Geoscan-Edelveis

June 9, 2023 marks a significant milestone for Geoscan-Edelveis: exactly 10 months have passed since the satellite’s launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on August 9 of the previous year. During this time, it has traversed an impressive distance of 200 million kilometers in Earth’s orbit!

It’s been almost nine months since our CubeSat entered the Earth’s orbit. Plenty of work has been completed in this period: we established communication with the satellite and received the first image of the Earth surface, successfully tested the stabilization mechanism and other on-board systems

Four months in orbit: radio amateurs in touch

By now, our Geoscan-Edelveis CubeSat has been operating normally in Earth orbit for four months, receiving commands and transmitting data to the Geoscan ground station. We are always happy when signals from the satellite are received not only by our operators and designers, but also by radio amateurs in different parts of our country and around the world.

Two weeks have passed since our satellite Geoscan-Edelveis went into orbit. On the first day of its flight our team established communication with it, sent signals in order to collect information from the sensors, and received the answers. The spacecraft is in orbit inclined at 97° at the altitude of 458х494 km and works within the amateur radio range at 436,2 MHz (its call sign is RS20S).
