Yubileyniy 2 / MiR [ISS Reshetnev]
Yubileiny-2 or MiR (Mikhail Reshetnev) is a small satellite built by ISS Reshetnev together with the Siberian State Aerospace University (SibSAU) of Krasnoyarsk to test advanced technologies. It is a follow up mission to the Yubileyniy satellite.
The satellite is based on ISS Reshetnev's Yubileyniy platform, which features an hexagonal prism structure, body mounted solar cells and a gravity gradient boom. The payload was partially developed and built by students of SibSAU.
The payload consisted of:
- contoured heat pipes
- new technological enhancements for onboard radio equipment
- small-sized sensitive, high-precision elements of AOCS
- solar concentrators experiment, using an experimental solar panel module.
- a compact navigation receiver installed in MiR (intended to obtain the spacecrafts orbit parameters using the GLONASS and GPS technology
- OBC (On-Board Computer)
- an Earth remote sensing camera
- a laser corner reflector intended to measure the distance from the satellite to the Earth.
