AIST 2D is a Russian satellite that weights The 1,170-pounds (531-kilogram), and is made by TsSKB Progress in partnership with Samara State Aerospace University. AIST 2D will demonstrate a new small spacecraft design with a high-resolution hyperspectral Earth imaging camera. AIST 2D also carries an innovative radar operating in P-band, a wavelength that penetrates through forest canopies and Earth's surface to study underground structures. AIST 2D's other science instruments will study the environment around the spacecraft and monitor how the satellite's components respond to the harsh temperature extremes, vacuum conditions and micrometeoroid and space debris impacts in orbit, according to TsSKB Progress.
