The Vostochny spaceport will be equipped with satellite communication from "MIC"

The United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation entering into State Corporation Rostec conducts development of transceiving complexes for the network of stations of satellite communication created in Russia. The main task of the equipment – ensuring necessary measurements during missile launches from the Vostochny spaceport which construction is conducted in the Amur region. Stations of satellite communication perform acceptance and transfer of telemetric information from a spaceship board to ground stations of management.

Reception-transmission of data on work of all systems of the spaceship allows to control its flight and to monitor a situation in areas of falling of the separating parts of a rocket. Stations accept information from a board of the spacecraft and transfer it to the Mission control center, ground mobile offices which are based in areas of falling on the spaceport and on the sea vessel which is also a part of a measuring complex.

"Development and production of hi-tech communication systems for different scopes, including, satellite communication systems, is one of the key directions of our activity, - the director of the department of the innovative development of United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation Alexander Kalinin told. – One of our leading enterprises – the Vigstar research and production center works on creation of transceiving complexes. It is a part of big developmental work during which the whole complex of measuring instruments, collecting and the operational information processing received from space rockets is created. It is intended for ensuring starts of the piloted and automatic spacecrafts at the Vostochny spaceport.

Vigstar develops four views of stations of satellite communication: stationary for large ground stations, two mobile – for placement on the land and by the ships, and the ship station for the vessel of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" (the only vessel of a similar class as a part of the VTR of Russia).

Stationary complexes will be set in Mission control center, at the spaceport and in ground measuring stations. Mobile stations are created in the form of containers - for convenience of transportation. They are supposed to be used in not equipped places – such "container" can be unrolled practically in any territory.

"During creation of the spaceport areas of falling of the separating parts of a rocket are defined. After missile launch these areas are under special control, in them mobile measuring offices which on the channel of satellite communication obtain information on flight of a rocket and work of its systems should be unrolled, - the deputy CEO of SPC Vigstar Vasily Prikhodko tells. - If the area of falling is in the sea, mobile offices are placed by the ships. The certain station is developed for the vessel of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov", unique for the Russian fleet.

Stations provide not only acceptance and transfer of telemetric information, but also serve for the organization of communication of personnel of mobile measuring offices with Mission control center and the spaceport, provide telephone communication, data transmission, video conference.

"In Russia only three enterprises are capable to create products of such appointment, - Alexander Kalinin says. – Vigstar has a wide experience of development and production of the similar systems for the benefit of security agencies. Our developments differ in flexibility of technical solutions that allows to adapt products of the enterprise for the benefit of the Russian space systems with the minimum costs. We as much as possible excluded use of import component parts in the equipment. Systems completely conform to technical requirements of domestic operators of satellite communication: "Space communication" and Gazprom space systems.

The end of developmental works is planned on the second half of 2015.
