Hors 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 part of a wave of Russian regional university satellites launched together specifically to give as many different institutions as possible a chance to fly hardware on a single shared mission, spreading the cost of one Soyuz launch across dozens of student teams.
