UMKA-1 telescope satellite mission

February 28 marks the 85th anniversary of the Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren named after N.K. Krupskaya, located in the city of Chelyabinsk.

The Palace of Pioneers operates the Impuls radio laboratory, under the direction of Evgeny Melnikov (R9AL).
The radio laboratory turns 75!

The Impuls radio laboratory actively works with children, which is confirmed by the numerous achievements of the team from Chelyabinsk. They have already taken part in the Stratospheric Launch project three times and their projects have always been interesting.

On June 27, 2023, the small spacecraft StratoSat-TK1 was successfully launched into orbit from the Vostochny Cosmodrome and had six pico-satellites in its container. One of them, StratoSat-TK1-A, was created by the students of the Impuls radio laboratory. And this is not the last achievement. The team does not plan to stop there.

The diploma program in honor of the significant date for radio amateurs has been decided to start in December of this year.

From December 4 to 5, 2024, the UMKA-1 will broadcast greeting cards. A diploma program will be organized as part of the event.

Each participant who sends at least one image during the broadcast period, before December 6, will receive an electronic diploma.

Send applications for the diploma to email: r9al@mail.ru with the received images attached.

Indicate “SSTV UMKA” in the subject line.
The application form must contain the following information:

  • Full name and call sign (if any);
  • Date and time of the received image (in UTC);
  • The locality where the image was received.
