NASBSAT-1 Satellite

NASBSAT-1 is part of the Space System for Radio-Meteorological Monitoring of Near-Earth Space.

Launching date

December 28, 2025 at 16:18:05 (GMT+3).

The system includes:

a small spacecraft;
a ground segment for controlling the small spacecraft;
stations for receiving ionosphere probing signals (Vitebsk, Pleshchennitsy, Pruzhany, Gomel);
software for processing ionosphere signal data.
The system's work is aimed at studying near-earth space and the ionosphere as a part of it, characterized by the presence of complex plasma processes occurring in it and serving as a medium for the propagation of radio waves of various wavelength ranges (VLF, LF, MF, HF, UHF, etc).

Main features NASBSat-1

The system provides:

collection of radiometric data for monitoring near-Earth space;
collection of magnetometric data for monitoring near-Earth space;
creation of magneto-ionospheric models reflecting the state of near-Earth space, taking into account ionospheric and magneto-ionospheric processes of natural and anthropogenic origin.

The system allows to control:

the operation of powerful sources of ionospheric anomalies (power plants, transmission lines, heavy industrial facilities, broadcast transmitters);
NASBSat-1 is part of the Space System for Radiometric Monitoring of Near-Earth Space.
