Sich-1M (Ukrainian: Січ-1М) was a Ukrainian spacecraft, constructed for remote sensing of Earth.

Designed by Yuzhnoye Design Office and manufactured by Yuzhmash.

Sich-1M was launched on December 24, 2004, at 13:20 from the Plesetsk cosmodrome (Russia) using the Cyclone-3 launch vehicle together with MK-1TS microsatellite.[1] Both satellites were placed into incorrect orbits due to premature third stage cutoff. The satellite remained in orbit until April 15, 2006.[2]
