Summary

The GONETS-D1 9 satellite, also known as Gonets-D1 No. 24L, was launched on December 28, 2001, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome LC32/1 launch pad using a Tsiklon-3 launch vehicle. It is owned by GONETS and manufactured by NPOPMR in Russia for communication and store-dump missions. The satellite has dimensions of 1.6 meters in length and 0.8 meters in diameter, with a span of 7 meters due to its antenna deployment. Its dry mass is 225 kilograms, which matches the launch mass. GONETS-D1 9 uses solar cells and batteries for power supply and has an operational lifetime of approximately 1.5 years. The satellite's shape consists of a cylinder with antennas (Cyl + Ant) and it carries the Strela-3 No. 109L payload, which is part of the Strela-3 bus system. It operates in a communication role using store-dump technology.
