Foton-M
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Foton-M is an unmanned microgravity research spacecraft based on the Foton, with several improvements, including a new telemetry and telecommand unit for increased data flow rate, increased battery capacity, and a better thermal control system.
The first launch failed because of a malfunction of the Soyuz-U launcher. The second launch was a success, however[1].
