Perseus-M is a pair of microsatellite developed by Russian-American company Dauria Aerospace and launched in 2014. The satellite is built in 6U Cubesat bus (0.3x0.2x0.1m), optimized for piggy-back launch.
All instruments are powered by solar cells mounted on the one side of spacecraft, providing approximately 6W average power.{{Cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/perseus-m.htm|title=Perseus-M 1, 2}}
Launch
Perseus-M1 and Perseus-M2 were launched from Dombarovsky site 13, Russia, on 19 June 2014 by a Dnepr rocket. Telemetry beacons were received and decoded by multiple amateur ground station operators starting on 6 July 2014. {{Cite web|url=http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?cat=181|title = DK3WN SatBlog| date=5 August 2023 }}
Mission
The satellites are intended primarily for radio-frequency maritime surveillance under contract with Russian Federation.{{cite web |url=http://dauriaspace.com/News.html |title=News - Dauria Aerospace |access-date=2014-07-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140707104626/http://dauriaspace.com/News.html |archive-date=2014-07-07 }}
