Acceptance procedure of Lobachevsky satellite completed

The team from Lobachevsky University has conducted the acceptance procedure of the Lobachevsky satellite, which was manufactured by Geoscan specialists based on the original Geoscan 16U satellite platform developed in collaboration with UNN. The satellite's payload includes two spectral cameras: a multispectral camera made by NPO Lepton JSC (Zelenograd) and a hyperspectral camera developed and manufactured by the research team of Samara State University.

The spectral data acquired from space will be processed using a hardware and software system developed at Lobachevsky University under the guidance of Dr. Vadim Turlapov, Professor at the UNN Institute of Information Technology, Mathematics, and Mechanics. Intelligent processing of the spectral data collected by the Lobachevsky satellite will enable the assessment of vegetation conditions in forests and agricultural areas.

Another component of the Lobachevsky satellite payload is a FM radio signal repeater, which includes a hardware and software system for conducting in-space experiments with a new generation of microelectronic devices called memristors. Soon, the Lobachevsky satellite will be integrated into the launch container and transported to the Far East. The launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome is planned for late December 2025.

The project is being carried out with the support of the Innovation Promotion Foundation and the Nizhny Novgorod Research and Education Centre.
