QMR-KWT-2 MR-KWT 2
QMR-KWT-2 is a 1U cubesat with Earth imaging capabilities (low-resolution camera) and FM transponder (amateur radio VHF to UHF linear transponder). It is expected to be launched in December 2025 on Soyuz-2.1b rocket from Vostochny spaceport in Russia's Far East.
QMR-KWT-2 is the successor of QMR-KWT which means "Moon of Kuwait", translated from Arabic which was launched in summer of 2021 and re-entered Earth’s atmosphere in fall of 2024. QMR-KWT-2 will continue the same educational objective of giving students the opportunity to learn about satellite technology.
