The Lomonosov (Mikhailo-Lomonosov-300) science satellite was orbited on Apr 28, 2016 from the new Vostochniy spaceport. The old GIK-2 (2nd State Test Cosmodrome) at Svobodniy was shut down in 2007; its reopening as Vostochniy marks a planned shift away from the Kazakhstan launch site of Baikonur.
Lomonosov's main experiment, TUS, is an ultraviolet camera to observe the flashes from cosmic rays hitting the Earth's upper atmosphere.
The Samara State Aerospace University's AIST-2D imaging satellite and its Kontakt-Nanosputnik (Samsat-218/D) cubesat were also deployed.
The student-built Samsat-218/D failed to transmit properly.
