The satellite of the Chechen State University is designed to measure the Earth's magnetic field.

The module for measuring the Earth's magnetic field allows collecting information about the intensity of the geomagnetic field and its heterogeneity. The data obtained will allow identifying magnetic anomalies (such as the Brazilian Magnetic Anomaly or the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly) and predicting natural disasters caused by tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other "cataclysms" around the world.

The CubeSat also has a module for receiving ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) messages as a payload, which allows aircraft pilots and air traffic controllers at ground stations to monitor the aircraft's movement in real time with great accuracy. Communication with the aircraft is possible along its entire route. Transmission of aircraft location messages is practiced via large communication satellites, but by a small number of air traffic controllers due to the high cost of transmitting information. One ADS-B module installed on a CubeSat will provide a signal reception area from aircraft of at least 1,500 km.
