CSTP 1.2 (STC 1.2), part of a roughly 40-satellite cluster of Russian university and amateur radio CubeSats launched together on June 27, 2023 aboard the same Soyuz rocket carrying the Meteor-M2-3 weather satellite. This satellite is one of roughly 40 small satellites that hitched a ride on the same June 27, 2023 Soyuz launch — the primary payload was Meteor-M2-3, a full-scale Russian weather satellite, with this CubeSat riding along in the same rocket's excess payload capacity.
