The Rubin-9 "satellite" (COSPAR 2009-051F) was actually the upper stage of the carrier rocket to which the payloads were solidly bolted onto; after the rocket had finished its mission with the primary payload, the upper stage remained in space and became "satellite" Rubin-9. Rubin 9.2 was developed by OHB System to continue their series of AIS receiver experiments that they had performed on previous Rubin-flights.{{Cite web|url=https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/rubin-9-ais.htm|title=Rubin 9}} AIS is a network used to find shipping vessels and identify them.{{Cite web|url=http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=35936|title=Technical details for satellite RUBIN 9.1/RUBIN 9.2/PSLV|website=N2YO.com - Real Time Satellite Tracking and Predictions|access-date=2018-03-11}} Non-operational as of 2019, its orbit was 792 * 712 km, at 98°.
