UmKA 1 is a Russian 3U CubeSat that is operated by Podolsk School 29 and Sputnix.

It was created by students of the school and contains a high-powered telescope called "Leptonar-20955K" and a digital camera called "playerOne Saturn-C SQR" [3]. It is built upon the OrbiCraft-Pro platform [1]. The satellite also includes 2 transmitters: one for GMSK telemetry and one for SSTV image transmission [4].

The Youtuber "saveitforparts" managed to receive the logo of the mission in coordination with the operators over SSTV [5]
