Mission: RS10/11 (Radio Sputnik 10/11) rides piggyback on the Kosmos series of navigation satellites. Each satellite has two radio amateur transponders onboard. Only one is switched on at a time. Both satellites have a 40 kHz wide linear transponder allowing for CW and SSB contacts. One unique feature of both these satellites is the ROBOT autotransponder that  make it possible to carry on a CW telegraphy contact with the ROBOT computer carried on the spacecraft. Upon calling the satellite on the ROBOT uplink frequency, the computer will return with a short message and issue a QSO number.
