Small satellites to be launched from ISS during upcoming spacewalk

Pre-launch preparations are under way, the spacecraft have already underwent checkups, and their batteries have been charged

INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, May 18. /TASS/. Six small satellites will be launched as part of the RadioSkaf experiment from the International Space Station during one of the upcoming Russian spacewalks, TASS special correspondent, Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, has reported.

Pre-launch preparations are under way, the spacecraft have already underwent checkups, and their batteries have been charged.

The next Russian spacewalk is due this summer. Six YuZGU-55 nano satellites, developed by the Southwestern State University (YuZGU) Research Institute of Instrumentation and Radioelectronics, were brought to the orbital station by the Progress MS-19 space freighter in February.

On November 17, 2021, TASS and Russia’s Roscosmos State Space Agency signed a memorandum of cooperation stipulating the establishment of a TASS news office onboard the International Space Station. Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev is currently in charge of the office. Cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin, whose mission lasted 12 days, was the first TASS special correspondent in space.
