Mission Control Center

Together with the Sakha Science Academy (SSA of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) we have equipped a mission control center (MCC) for the «Cholbon» small spacecraft (SAKHACUBE-CHOLBON). The MCC is located in room 209, the «Aerospace Engineering Lab», and serves as the primary site for receiving telemetry, planning communication sessions and training operators.

The center was officially opened on 4 July 2026 by Anatolii Askalonovich Semenov, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
