It is a research satellite designed and built by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Kazakhstan. The main goal of the project was to solve educational and technological tasks. Cubesat had a 2U form factor. The satellite was equipped with a number of experimental systems and remote sensing nano-camera .[2] SPUTNIX team have developed one of the communication and data transmission systems, as well as antennas, for this satellite.
