Beskrivning : Plesetk post stamp and ukrainian satellite Sich 1 M. Mikron, also known as KS5MF2, is a Russo-Ukrainian Earth surveying mini-satellite that was launched by a Tsyklon 3 rocket from Plesetsk at 11:20 UT on 24 December. It carried imaging instruments to survey the surface environment and locate natural disasters.
The launch apparently was a partial failure, when the third stage of the Tsiklon-3 launch vehicle failed to circularize the orbit.
