STORYLINE:

On Tuesday morning, a microsatellite, the first of its type jointly developed by Chinese and Russian universities, was successfully launched from the city of Blagoveshchensk, Russia, according to its developer.

The CubeSat, a miniature satellite weighing about 15.7 kg, will be used for the verification of micro-nano satellite technology, amateur experiments of radio technology, and space science education, according to the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), based in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

The microsatellite project aims to integrate higher-education resources of both countries and encourage cultural exchanges between their youth. Chinese and Russian universities, including HIT, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Amur State University and Bauman Moscow State Technical University, participated in the project.
