Scientific center of operational monitoring of Earth (NTs OMZ)

The scientific center of operational monitoring of Earth (NTs OMZ) executes planning of space shooting, acceptance, registration, processing, cataloguing, archiving, dissemination of space information from domestic and foreign spacecrafts of the remote sensing of Earth (RSE).

It is organized in 1999 at Federal State Unitary Enterprise Centre Programmnykh Issledovany (it is renamed into "Scientific center of space information systems and technologies of observation", in abbreviated form later — the Center of Space Observations) as branch.

Since December 5, 2006 according to the Decree of the Russian President of April 25, 2006 No. 426 of Ob otkrytom aktsionernom obshchestve "Rossiyskaya korporation raketno-kosmicheskogo priborostroyeniya i informatsionnykh sistem" i vo ispolneniye Postanovleniya Pravitelstva RF ot 2 iyunya 2006 g. № 347 v hode provedennoy reorganizatsii federalnoye gosudarstvennoye unitarnoye predpriyatiye "Nauchny center kosmicheskikh informatsionnykh sistem i tekhnology nablyudeny" (Federal State Unitary Enterprise Center of Space Observations) it was attached as branch – the Scientific and technology center of space monitoring of Earth (STC of KMZ) to Federal State Unitary Enterprise RNII KP.

NTs OMZ was a part of STC of KMZ as the structural division performing functions of a land complex of Federal Space Agency on acceptance, registration, processing and dissemination of information arriving from the DZZ space systems.

For December, 2016 NTs OMZ JSC Rossiyskiye kosmicheskiye sistemy is an Operator of the Russian DZZ space systems.

The scientific center of operational monitoring of Earth renders services:

• police footage by the Russian and foreign spacecrafts;
• formation and replenishment of a data archive of space shooting and electronic directory;
• issue of information from archive on earlier executed space shootings of high, average and low resolution, including the data obtained from the scientific and experimental equipment;
• preparation of standard information products on the basis of data of remote sensing of Earth;
• thematic processing and creation of products according to requirements of the customer;
• carrying out flight tests of scientific and measuring complexes onboard the spacecraft of operational observation of Earth;
• development and operation of the satellite heliogeophysical hardware complexes intended for global monitoring of parameters of near-earth space;
• upgrade of land means and technologies of acceptance, processing, archiving and dissemination of space information;
• project development on a research of resources of Earth, monitoring of the environment and an ecological situation, a research of the World Ocean and so forth.
