ARISSat-1 or Kedr ( Russian кедр for cedar after Yuri Gagarin's callsign during the Vostok-1 mission ) was a Russian amateur radio satellite as part of the ARISS project.
Originally, the satellite was to be given the name Radioskaf 2 , as it was to be integrated with a disused space suit, similar to the previous project Radioskaf (SuitSat) . In the course of development, however, the satellite was given an independent structure with solar cells.
ARISSat-1 contained a linear transponder for two-way communication, voice, SSTV , telegraph and data downlinks as well as an experiment from the Technical University of Kursk . The Russian callsign RS01S was assigned to the satellite .
The satellite was brought to the ISS space station on January 28, 2011 by a Progress transporter . On August 3, 2011, he was there for a spacewalk by Russian cosmonauts Sergei Volkov released. The launch was delayed at first because there were problems with one of the two antennas. On January 4, 2012, the satellite entered the earth's atmosphere and burned up.
As a sub-satellite of the ISS, the satellite had a derived COSPAR designation 1998-067CK, which suggests a launch in 1998, although ARISSat-1 was only transported there in 2011. In addition, the satellite was also cataloged under the NSSDC ID 2011-004C, which identifies it as a payload for a launch in 2011.
