This object flew as part of Russia's large November 4, 2024 Vostochny rideshare mission under COSPAR designation 2024-199, which paired the primary Ionosfera-M ionospheric research satellites with roughly two dozen smaller university and institutional CubeSats from across the country. This particular satellite's specific builder and mission objective could not be confirmed with confidence from available sources during research, a common outcome for individual objects within very large rideshare batches where public documentation tends to focus on the mission's headline payloads rather than every small satellite riding alongside them.
