Sputniks will launch 28 spacecraft into orbit in the fall
The Russian company Sputniks (part of the Sitronics Group) will launch 28 spacecraft in the fall. The satellites will go into space as a payload along with the Ionosphere-M devices No. 1 and No. 2, they reported TASS in the press service of Sitronics Group.
“The spacecraft created by the private Russian company Sputniks are planned to be launched into orbit as part of the launch of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket. It should launch in November from the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur region,” the statement says.
They plan to send satellites into orbit that will complement the Sitronics constellation, as well as student cubesats. These devices are launched as part of the Space-Pi program to test various technologies.

In July, it became known that the Sputniks company had created the ArcticSat microsatellite to study space weather in the interests of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after Mikhail Lomonosov.
