Sich-1M(Ukrainian:Січ-1М) is aUkrainianspacecraft, an artificial satellite of Earth, constructed forremote sensingof Earth.

Developed byYuzhnoye Design Officeand manufactured byYuzhmash.

Sich-1M was launched on December 24, 2004, at 13:20 from thePlesetsk cosmodrome(Russia) using theCyclone-3launch vehicle together withMK-1TSmicrosatellite.[1]Both satellites placed into incorrect orbits due to premature third stage cutoff.

The satellite was in orbit until April 15, 2006.[2]

Purpose

[edit]

Sich-1M was designed to receive information simultaneously in the optical,infraredandmicrowaveranges. The complex of research equipment installed on the spacecraft allowed to study theatmosphere of Earthand theWorld Ocean,monitoring thehydrologicaland ice conditions, vegetation and soil cover of the land, etc.[3][4]

MK-1TS

[edit]

MK-1TS Micron (Ukrainian:МС-1-ТК Мікрон) is a smallUkrainianmicrosatellite manufactured byYuzhmash.MK-1TS was launched on December 24, 2004, at 13:20 from thePlesetsk cosmodrome(Russia) using aCyclone-3launch vehicle together with the Sich-1M satellite.[5]Both satellites were placed into incorrect orbits due to premature third stage cutoff.

MK-1TS had a small on-board camera (MBTC-VD), to provide digital optical-electronic images in thepanchromatic range.[6]One of its tasks was to work out a new system of orientation on the base of amagnetometerand electromagnets without using auxiliary devices.[7]The satellite was active until September 30, 2005.[8]
