2023: Orbit Launch
The first Akhmat-1 satellite produced in Chechnya was successfully launched into orbit on June 27, 2023 and began to perform the specified functions. This was told in the press service of the South-Western State University (South-Western State University), which took part in the creation of the spacecraft.
June 27, 2023 At the cosmodrome East"" at 14:34:49 Moscow time, the launch of the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the Fregat upper stage took place. 42 Russian and foreign small satellites were launched into orbit. In the acceleration block was also the satellite "Akhmat-1" ChSU named after A.A. Kadyrov, created on the platform of the South-Western State University as part of the program "Planet Duty" together with the Bortnik Innovation Promotion Fund. The main task of the device is to receive messages from the aircraft (aircraft) and relay information to. Earth
According to the university, the Akhmat-1 satellite is equipped with a special module for receiving messages of automatic dependent monitoring-broadcasting (AZN-V). It will provide a zone for receiving signals from aircraft for at least 1,500 km. Aircraft pilots, as well as air traffic controllers at earth points, will be able to observe the movement of the aircraft with great accuracy and receive data on its location in real time. It is worth noting that the message receiving module consists of 70-80 percent of domestic components. For the first time, this spacecraft will test the technology of transmitting data directly from the aircraft to control rooms. In orbit, Akhmat-1 will spend about 5 years.
As the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov said in his Telegram channel, the Chechen expert team has plans to develop this area in the long term. So, in 2023, they received a grant for the implementation of the second satellite, which will be retrofitted with a video camera and high-tech sensors for measuring the Earth's magnetic field.[1]
