June 27, 2025, marks exactly two years since the launch of satellites developed with the participation of the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP MSU) under the projects Constellation-270, Space-Pi, and the Space School.
During this time, the satellites have collected invaluable scientific data:
✔ Over 10 gamma-ray bursts, including significant events GRB 250116A and GRB 250119B.
✔ 27 solar flares, among them powerful X- and M-class events.
✔ Participation in observing the gravitational-wave event of February 6, 2025, in collaboration with LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA.
✔ Detection of multiple intense solar cosmic ray fluxes.

Active satellites in orbit:
✔ Avion (equipped with DeCoR-1, 2, 3 detectors) – the primary satellite for hard X-ray observations.
✔ Altair and ArktikSat – new satellites launched in November 2024.
✔ Monitor-3 and Monitor-4 – key satellites for radiation environment monitoring.
Research using CubeSats confirms:
✔ The advanced capabilities of small satellites in fundamental research.
✔ The importance of space weather monitoring for practical applications.
✔ The effectiveness of scientific collaboration —both among Russian teams and internationally.

Anniversary Event
To celebrate the mission’s second anniversary, SINP MSU organized a special SSTV image transmission from the Monitor-3 satellite. The images were successfully received by amateur radio operators across the country.
We congratulate our colleagues at SINP MSU involved in these cutting-edge space projects and wish them new discoveries and continued success!
