Description Two satellites Skoltech B1 and Skoltech B2 are the first in the project "SwarmSat", built at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (skoltech.ru). The main experiment is to test intersatellite link to enable interaction between two satellites. Additionally, the satellites carry gamma-ray detector DEKOR, developed by the Skobelitsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University. This is also a technological demo of many engineering choices made, while constructing the platform. The project aimed to support STEM activities in Russia.
