MOSCOW, October 28 (RIA Novosti) - Experts from the Russian Space Forces are continuing efforts to establish contact with the Mozhayets-5 educational satellite, an informed source with the program said Friday.
He said no problems had been experienced during the launch of the Mozhayets and seven foreign mini-satellites from Russia's Plesetsk Space Center on October 27. However, experts were later unable to establish contact with the satellite.
The Mozhayets-5 was designed by students of the Mozhaisk Military Space Academy to test laser-optic communications.
Two similar satellites, the Mozhayets-3 and the Mozhayets-4, are already in orbit.
