The deployment of "Chibis-M" in a circular orbit of 500 km will take place
during the final phase of "Progress M-13M" operation. According to the
plan of the Russian Space Control Centre, undocking of "Progress M-13M"
will occur at January 23, 22:09:35 UTC, 2012 and after two corrections it will
be positioned at 500 km orbit. At January 24, 23:18:30 UTC, 2012 "Chibis-M" will
separate. Beside scientific data "Chibis-M" will transmit service telemetry
(the housekeeping parameters) in the beacon format on 435.315 or 435.215 MHz CW
and has the designation of RS-39. The format of data is typical for RS satellites.

Spacecraft "Chibis" delivered to the ISS
02.11.2011 16:31 Age: 80 days
November 2 at 15 hours 41 minutes GMT performed docking cargo ship
"Progress M-13M" to the International Space Station (ISS).
Cargo ship docked to the docking bay, "Pierce." The convergence process was
carried out in an automatic mode under the control of specialists in the
Mission Control Center TsNIImash and ISS.
Logistics vehicle (THC), "Progress M-13M" delivered to the station more than
2.6 tons of cargo needed to support the ISS flight in a manned mode and a
program of applied research on its board. Among them are small spacecraft
"Chibis-M" for a new experiment "microsatellite."
This experiment provides a comprehensive study of physical processes in
atmospheric lightning discharges. Delivery of the microsatellite in its
working orbit at an altitude of 500 km will be done with a THC "Progress
M-13M" after the completion of the flight of the truck in the station.
According to the developers of the term of active existence of the
spacecraft, "Chibis-M" will be at least one year.

November 2, 2011 on the ship "Progress M-13M" to the International Space
Station was taken to small spacecraft "Chibis-M". This week the astronauts
will begin to prepare him for autonomous flight.
Small Spacecraft "Chibis-M" is intended to implement a new geophysical
experiment "microsatellite", which provides a comprehensive study of
physical processes in atmospheric lightning discharges in a wide range of
energies - from radio to gamma radiation.
Derivation of "Chibisa" on its operational orbit, altitude of 500 km, will
be carried out by the ship "Progress M-13M" after the completion of the
flight of this truck in the ISS.
According to the ballistic Service Mission Control Center Engineering
Research Institute undocking from the ISS space trucks is scheduled for
January 24 at 1:00 59 am Moscow time. Then, using the two inclusions of main
engine, the ship will be translated into a higher orbit with an average
altitude of about 500 kilometers. According to preliminary calculations,
the first inclusion is planned in 05 hours 32 minutes 39 seconds, the second
- at 06 hours 18 minutes 55 seconds.
January 25 at 03 hours 14 minutes MSK of "Lapwing" should be separated from
the space of the truck and start a solo flight in low Earth orbit.
Small Spacecraft "Chibis-M" was developed at the Institute of Space Research
of Russian Academy of Sciences. Its mass is in free flight is 34.4 pounds.

Chibis-M Microsatellite Mission
Chibis-M (Chibis means a "lapwing" in Russian, it is the name of a bird of
the Vanellus family, the "M" stands for Molniya=Thunderstorm) is a low-cost
microsatellite mission of IKI-RAS (Space Research Institute-Russian Academy
of Sciences), Moscow, Russia. The partner institutions of the science
mission are: SINP (D. V. Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics) of the
Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Moscow; SRG (Space Research Group)
of Eotvos University, Budapest, & BL-Electronics Kft., Solymar, Hungary;
and LC-ISR (Lviv Centre-Institute for Space Research) of NANU-NKAU, Lviv,
Ukraine. The PI of the Chibis project is Lev Zeleny of IKI.

Friends!
Happy Birthday Chibisa!
And as a former student - during the day with Tatiana!
Paved the way to space for science and for SRI - no wonder 10 years ago,
we spent time on the Kolibri-2000! From the path to normal road soon fly
following Chibisa!
Ham radio operators around the world listen to the voice Chibis.
Keep in touch!
Once again - warmest congratulations!
Your
