During the space shift teams of participants worked on 21 projects in the field of space engineering and space data application - they developed devices for rockets and lunar rovers, invented and assembled accessible space data reception stations, trained artificial intelligence to process space images, explored forests using space images, created and tested prototypes of super-small satellites for space experiments, organized communication and control sessions with real spacecraft in Earth's orbit.
The participants of the shift were able to launch their developed training rockets, test the developed prototypes of four scientific satellites of CubeSat format in the stratosphere at an altitude of 25 km and receive temporary control over the same number of real satellites, using them to transmit photos and congratulations on Cosmonautics Day around the world, created several different data reception stations, independently established communication with the International Space Station during its flight over the camp and asked questions to Nikolai Alexandrovich Chub, a Russian cosmonaut from its operating ecosystem.
The results of the projects were demonstrated by the participants to the representatives of Roscosmos State Corporation, the Ministry of Education and Science and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, aerospace universities and Russian private companies focused on space technologies and data.
