"The company demonstrated its new SXC6 nanosatellite Earth observation platform and aerospace education projects," the press office said.

The platform is a set of onboard service systems and structural elements designed for developing CubeSat 6U satellites. The platform was used to develop the OrbiCraft-Pro SXC6 Earth’s remote sensing satellite with compact (10x20x30cm) dimensions and weighing 8.5 kg. The satellite is furnished with an experimental high resolution camera of up to 6 meters per pixel.
