The Kolibry satellite was developed as a base satellite
as applied to the entire Program with respect to its characteristics:
- Mass and overall dimensions;
- Design of the MS body and transport container with launcher;
- Content of service systems;
- A permanent component of scientific equipment system;
- Technique of its launch into space;
- In-flight control of its operation.

A satellite is launched from the Progress M1-7 cargo vehicle
following its separation from the International Space Station
(ISS), moving a safe distance away from it and carrying
out the required attitude control to avoid the satellite
collision with the ISS and provide its operating position
after launch.
The critical component of this Project involves development
and deployment of ground control complex (GCC) and school
ground stations (GS) receiving telemetry data and operating
within ham radio band, which will be basic configuration
to the entire Program as well.
The Kolibry satellite, its GCC and GS used as basic configuration
will enable to significantly reduce the scope of design
and test activities for subsequent projects under the Program,
decrease their cost and completion dates.
