The payload is a space particle detector for studying space weather. The sensor was developed by the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Moscow State University and was assembled with the participation of a group of schoolchildren from the Sirius Educational Center. Roskosmos helped in organizing free-of-charge sending to orbit within the framework of the corporation′s program for the free launch of Russian school and student satellites.
