CubeSat

The 239Alferov satellite, developed by Geoscan on the Geoscan 3U platform, continues its scientific mission by recording space events using a gamma-ray spectrometer. As of February 10, 2026, the instrument has detected three gamma-ray bursts, including the bright GRB 260101A. This event became the first major result of the gamma-ray spectrometer’s operation and confirmed its ability to detect gamma-ray bursts and transmit data for astrophysical research.

Geoscan has completed in-orbit flight test program for InnoSat16 – the company’s first 16U-size CubeSat. This winter Geoscan’s small satellite development team and the Mission Control Center team successfully finished testing the attitude determination and control system (ADCS) onboard the satellite launched in July 2025. Following the tests, the satellite deployed its solar panels.

On December 28, 2025, at 4:18 p.m. Moscow time, a Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage lifted off from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. As a secondary payload, it carried the Lobachevsky CubeSat, developed by Lobachevsky University and Geoscan and based on the Geoscan 16U satellite platform.

InnoSat3 and Geoscan-2 continue to carry out their mission in orbit. Both satellites were launched in July 2025 and are operating normally, showcasing Geoscan’s satellite-based transport monitoring technologies.

Today, Moscow became the focal point of discussions on the future of private space exploration and open technologies as it hosted the technology and science conference “Making Space Open – 2025

On September 27, 2025, the 239Alferov satellite commenced its operational phase in orbit.

On July 25, 2025, at 08:54 Moscow time, a Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage lifted off from the Vostochny Cosmodrome as part of the Ionosphere-M Mission Nos. 3 and 4 under the program of the State Corporation Roscosmos

The first Russian 16U CubeSat, InnoSat16, was launched into orbit on July 25 as part of a constellation consisting of nine small satellites developed by Geoscan

On July 25, nine experimental small satellites developed by Geoscan were launched into a near-polar sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of approximately 500 km
