Rubin 2 is a small satellite for technology demonstration, privately owned and developed by Fuchs Group. Rubin 2 will be placed in a circular orbit, with an inclination of 65°, at a height of 650 km. The gyroscopic stability is obtained spinning the spacecraft. The satellite is sun-pointing, with the solar panels placed on the upper face of the spacecraft.

The OCE, designed and developed by Carlo Gavazzi Space, leading a number of industrial and university partners, is one of the technological payload for the RUBIN-2 mission. It has in charge to validate a group of technological experiments, and to test an experimental propulsion subsystem, that would be used for orbit and/or attitude control of a small satellite. In this mission, it will be used to increase the spin rate of the spacecraft.

UniSat (University Satellite) are a series of small satellites developed at the Scuola di Ingegneria Aerospaziale by the Gruppo di Astrodinamica dell'Università degli Studi “La Sapienza University of Rome” to perform technology experiments and to check the use of non space rated equipment in space.

The UNISAT program has been the first university program in Italy intended for promoting the use of commercial technologies in the aerospace field, performing in-orbit tests of up-to-date technologies, with short development times and with a remarkable cost reduction.

Saudisat-1a and Saudisat-1b are the first Saudi Arabian micro satellites. They are designed and built by the Space Research Institute at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

They are both low Earth orbiting Satellites designed to provide store-and-forward communications and carry several space experiments. They carry amateur radio communications payload.The satellites are currently operating some experments. When opened to the public, the amateur payload will operating in mode-J.

LatinSat, later renamed AprizeSat, is a constellation of small Low-Earth-Orbit satellites (64 satellites planned) to achieve a global communication system of data transmission and fixed and mobile asset tracking and monitoring. The satellites also carry experimental payloads.

This is a structural mock-up of the planned TrailBlazer-2001 lunar probe and the kick motor carrying instruments to confirm down link telemetry a/c separation. It was built by ukrainian Yuzhnoye Design Office for TransOrbital, Inc. to test the deployment of larger payloads from the Dnepr launch vehicle. The probe mock-up remained connected with the kick-stage mock-up.

On this launch originally the TrailBlazer-2001 lunar probe was to be launched, but it was delayed due to missing ITAR export documents. As the Dnepr launch vehicle was already configured for the lunar probe, the structural test article was launched instead, being identical in mass and dimensions. The real Trailblazer probe will never be launched.
