FOTON M4 is a satellite that carries experiments to study the effects of the harsh environment of space on organisms, manufacturing materials, plus other investigations. The spacecraft carries nearly 1,900 pounds (862 kg) of research hardware inside and outside the capsule. The mission marks the 16th flight of a recoverable Foton spacecraft since 1985. The Foton M4 mission carries several upgrades to extend the duration of its flight, including solar panels to generate electricity and a new propulsion module to adjust its altitude.
