The full manifest of over 30 satellites can be found here:
http://www.zarya.info/blog/?p=1745
A Russian Dnepr rocket is due to place 32 satellites into orbit
using a variety of systems to separate them from the launch vehicle.
Below are listed all the satellites that make up its complement of
payloads. The accuracy of the list is not guaranteed so feedback on any
errors will be appreciated.
The most intriguing is the satellite Pocket PUCP that, at launch, will be contained inside another satellite – PUCPSat 1. In turn, PUCPSat 1 will be carried inside the Unisat 5 satellite…. like a set of Russian Matryoshka dolls heading for space.
The payload manifest breaks down into a number of sub-classes. There are some individual satellites being flown as Primary and Secondary payloads and a number of small satellites coordinated as two packages.
ISIS, a Netherlands-based company, has provided nine of its ISIPOD Cubesat dispensers, holding a total of 14 satellites.
The Canadian Space Agency has coordinated three payloads and all will use X-POD dispensers.
