Object-R is one of four picosatellites that were launched by a Dnepr rocket (a modified SS-18, Satan ICBM) from Baikonur at 07:02 UT on 17 April 2007. Each is a "CubeSat" of mass 1.0 kg, and dimension 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, and is a technology demonstrator. Their names remain unmatched with the IDs, but are from among the following four. CP 4 (CalPoly 4) is an American Picosatellite that was designed by college students (at California Polytech). It carries a three-axis attitude determination and control system, and a substantial data processing and storage system. AEROCUBE 2 was designed and built by the American Aerospace Corporation in California. CSTB 1 (CubeSat TestBed 1) was built by the American Boeing company. It will enable attitude control by means of sensing the magnetic field. MAST 3 may be one of the three CubeSats in MAST that was released from the chain after the launch of MAST.
