Hello, Habr! How Markos Technologies is building its own satellite

Ilkhom Askarov, founder of the engineering company Markos Technologies, has introduced a project to build the 'Polyarny-M' small satellite in a 3U CubeSat format. The project's main goal is to create a flying laboratory to test onboard electronics, communication systems, power supply, and electric propulsion. The company is particularly interested in organizing data transmission in the Arctic region. The author plans to blog on Habr, detailing the process of design, component selection, prototype assembly, and testing. The posts will cover both successes and the engineering mistakes inevitable in creating complex space systems. The project aims for practical implementation and eventual orbital deployment, making this diary a valuable resource for those interested in modern astronautics and applied engineering.
