History

SPUTNIX was established in 2011 by the ScanEx satellite technology department, which developed the orientation and stabilization system of the Chibis-M microsatellite by order of the Russian Space Research Institute.[2][3][4] It is based at the Skolkovo Innovation Center.[5][6]

Since 2012, SPUTNIX has been creating satellite platforms and service systems for microsatellites and nanosatellites. In 2013, SPUTNIX received a license from the Russian Federal Space Agency to carry out space activities and began to create a microsatellite-technology demonstrator TabletSat-Aurora.

On June 19, 2014, the first privately-owned Russian microsatellite, Tabletsat-Aurora, was launched into a Low Earth orbit on a Russian launch vehicle Dnepr rocket[7][8] implementing a contract between SPUTNIX and ISC Kosmotras.[9][10][11][12][13] In 2017, SPUTNIX developed the Orbiсraft-Pro satellite platform based on the international CubeSat standard. The OrbiСraft-Pro platform is a design kit that allows the assembly of various configurations of nanosatellites with different payloads. The scientific and educational satellites SiriusSat-1[14] and SiriusSat-2[15] were created with the OrbiСraft-Pro platform, and launched from the International Space Station on August 15, 2018.[16][17][18][19]

Main activities

SPUTNIX develops orientation and stabilization systems and other service systems for microsatellites and CubeSat satellites; microsatellite and CubeSat platforms, allowing the quick creation of satellites for technological, scientific and educational experiments; equipment and software for ground communication stations; attitude determination and control system (ADCS) test benches for research of small satellites dynamics in the simulated space environment of zero gravity, homogenous unsteady magnetic field, sunlight, sky of stars; and equipment for aerospace education.[20][21]
