OSSI 1 (NORAD 39131, COSPAR 2013-015B) was a KR satellite that re-entered Earth's atmosphere on 8 Jul 2013, launched on 19 Apr 2013 on the Bion-M No. 1/Cubesats mission. It was operated by OSSI as part of the OSSI programme. The spacecraft was built by OSSI on the Cubesat 1U bus, with a mass of 1 kg. Like most satellites in low orbits, it was gradually slowed by atmospheric drag until re-entry.
