Satellite AMGU-1 (AMURSAT) made 21,000 orbits around the Earth
On April 22, the Amur State University satellite AMGU-1 (AMURSAT) made its 21000th orbit around the Earth. The small spacecraft entered the orbit at 06:10PM Amur time.
At the moment, the period of orbiting of AMGU-1 satellite (AMURSAT) is 94.2 minutes. The highest altitude above the Earth's surface (Apogee) is 498.8 km, and the lowest altitude (Perigee) is 475.5 km.
AMGU-1 (AMURSAT) is a small 3U CubeSat spacecraft launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on July 5, 2019. The satellite was developed by representatives of the Amur State University in partnership with the D. V. Skobeltsyn Research Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University.
The AMGU-1 satellite's (AMURSAT) dimensions are 100x100x340.5 mm and weighs about 3 kilograms. The spacecraft is equipped with the Photon-Amur device, a proprietary AmSU device, designed to study new solar photovoltaic converters. In addition, the satellite has a charged particle detector “DeCor” developed by the Moscow State University Research Institute of Nuclear Physics and ADS-B receiver.
