A satellite is a celestial body orbiting along a certain trajectory (orbit) around another object in outer space under the influence of gravity. Small satellites are a type of artificial Earth satellites with low weight and size. Satellites with a mass of less than 0.5– 1 ton are usually considered small. There is a more detailed classification of types depending on the mass. The launch of small satellites into orbit can be carried out by simpler rockets or as an additional load to conventional satellites.
Cubesat— "CubeSat" is a format of small (ultra-small) artificial Earth satellites for space exploration, having a volume of 1 liter and a mass of no more than 1.33 kg or several (multiples) more. The creation of Cubesats became possible thanks to the development of microminiaturization and nanotechnology and became a mass phenomenon in the XXI century. After the appearance of the Cubesat format, an even smaller poketsat format (literally pocket) appeared in several hundred or tens of grams and a few centimeters.
To develop a method of increasing public awareness of cubesats with an eye to attracting young people to the space industry. The CamSat project is aimed at researching and promoting nano-class spacecraft development technology among schoolchildren and students. To inspire young people to conduct scientific research.
To develop a nanosatellite with a VR camera and the ability to remotely connect to it, thereby anyone will be able to observe the planet Earth from a height of 550 km and fully immerse themselves in space. The thermal imager is also able to detect forest fires.
It is also planned to create an affordable, multifunctional and practical educational satellite constructor that will allow students to learn the basics of space technology, radio electronics, programming and data processing.
The training satellite will be able to train highly qualified specialists, and anyone who wants will be able to purchase their own satellite for $ 500, which will be able to launch on a weather balloon.
