NOVEL PROJECT.

 

The micro-satellite is a kind of teaching aid, rather expensive and sophisticated mainly because it employs high technologies, not available for school education. Hence , technical aspects of the Project should directly involve participation of advanced branches of science and engineering. To develop the concept of school research micro-satellite an ad hoc dedicated team (VTK - Russian abbreviation) was set up including highly skilled specialists from a number of Institutes of The Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow State University and leading organizations of space industry. "Kolibri-2000" is being designed and manufactured in The Special Design Office of space instrument engineering, Space Research Institute, RAS, with participation of leading organizations of Russian space industry.
