Abstract

≪AIST≫ small satellites (SS) were codeveloped by Samara state aerospace university and Samara Space-Rocket Centre “Progress”. The article describes the results of development, ground and flight testing of small satellites of scientific and educational purpose, that were placed into the near-earth orbit on the April 19^th and December 28^th 2013 as additional payload on the Russian Soyuz-2.1b and Soyuz-2.1v launch vehicles. The analysis of telemetry data concerning the support systems performance has been carried out. The telemetry form the scientific equipment has been analyzed as well.
