The satellite is a collaborative project between children of Russia and Australia.

 The satellite will stay in space attached to a remote launching port on the Progress spacecraft until February 2002. It will then be remotely ejected and free-fall back to earth over the next 2-4 months. During its free-fall, it will send back telemetry and digital voice recordings. One of the downlink frequencies will be 145.825.
