Nadezhda 6

Success
JUN 28200010:37:00 UTC

Alongside the Nadezhda search-and-rescue satellite, this launch carried two pioneering small spacecraft built by Surrey: Tsinghua-1, a microsatellite flown with China's Tsinghua University, and SNAP-1, a 6 kg nanosatellite carrying a machine-vision camera and its own propulsion. SNAP-1 was meant to maneuver up to Tsinghua-1 and inspect it, an early demonstration of autonomous nanosatellite rendezvous.
