Thank you, Steven, for your launch thread coverage! 😊
Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

BUREAU 1440, a Russian startup, launched 3 experimental communication spacecraft as part of the Rassvet-1 mission. They intend to create a LEO broadband data transmission system. The satellites will be deorbited after their mission.

Experimental orbital video system (Obzor) for the recording of sat deployment was also tested.

But I gather then these are Bauman satellites?

Bauman MSTU smallsats went operational for the Roshydromet

CubeSat class smallsats (МКА) Khors No. 1 and 2 built by Bauman MSTU with the GAMVEKI instruments by Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics (FGBU "IPG") onboard have successfully passed flight testing and have been transferred to the heliogeophysical situation operational monitoring mode in low Earth orbit for the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring (Roshydromet).

On February 19, 2024, a meeting was held at Roshydromet about summarizing the flight tests results and the possible use of smallsat measurements for everyday 'space weather' monitoring. Management of Roscosmos, Bauman MSTU, Ferorov Institute, “Planet” National Research Center, and Weather Center made final reports of the Khors No. 1 and 2. smallsats flight testing phase results.

The GAMVEKI equipment consists of two devices: GAMVEKI-GM and GAMVEKI-CH. The GAMVEKI-GM device measures the total flux density of protons and electrons using Geiger-Muller counters in four energy ranges, and the GAMVEKI-CH device measures the flux density of protons with energies greater than 600 MeV in three energy intervals.

Results obtained by Bauman MSTU, and the established cooperation of the university with the institutes of Roshydromet showed the correctness of the principles and approaches that we laid down in the UniverSat program: testing new technologies, collecting targeted information, getting recognized by customers and supplementing federal satellite constellations with small devices. We expect to develop the successful experience gained while working with Roshydromet by organizing the universities' work with other Roscosmos customers focused in promising areas.

Apparently the same is not present at http://ipg.geospace.ru/news/ (but seen there by Google).

A new object, 60448, has been cataloged associated with the Jun 2023 Meteor-M launch. It is in the same orbit as the Meteor satellite, well above the rideshare payloads from the launch, and is likely insulation debris that has come off the Meteor-M payload.
