MK-1TS

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

The satellite was active until September 30, 2005.[2]

Purpose

MK-1TS had a small on-board camera (MBTC-VD), to provide digital optical-electronic images in the panchromatic range.[3] One of its tasks was to work out a new system of orientation on the base of a magnetometer and electromagnets without using auxiliary devices.[4]

gollark: Well, I actually had to for potatOS's signed update mechanism.
gollark: AES is more standard, though.
gollark: ChaCha20 might be better for CC, since it's apparently more lightweight.
gollark: You probably want authenticated encryption for most things, too, which exists in one library, but it isn't obvious that that is actually the necessary thing.
