Abstract

A description of the TECHSAT microsatellite, as well as its on-board housekeeping systems and scientific equipment is presented. The satellite is a universal three-axis platform carrying devices for space research and technological experiments. Preliminary results of testing the microsatellite itself and the different on-board systems during the first 6 months of its in-orbit operation are set out. In-flight parameters of satellite equipment are compared with those at the stage of development; this comparison confirmed the effectiveness of adopted scientific approaches and technical solutions. Some results obtained from the on-board measurements processing relevant to space radiation and to Earth's images are presented.
