3U Cubesat StratoSat TK-1 is a Stratonautica satellite, created on the basis of a shortened satellite platform Geoscan 3U. One of the three units is a transport container for the delivery of 6 pocketcubes into low Earth orbit (StratoSat TK-1-A, StratoSat TK-1-B, StratoSat TK-1-C, StratoSat TK-1-D, StratoSat TK-1-E, StratoSat TK-1-F). These pico-satellites are intended for educational programs for high school students. Most pocketcubes were made by high school or university students. Each pocketcube operates on an independent power supply system and has radio transmitters and cameras on board. The process of the exit of the satellites from the transport container will be filmed using high-resolution photo and video cameras that are installed on the middle unit. All imagery data taken during the mission will be transmitted to amateurs around the world using open radio-protocol.
