UGDIS ERS was created within the framework of the Federal Space Program 2006-2015. It was formed by integrating into a single geo-information space all information resources of remote sensing of the Earth (DZZ) in the country. The project combined the entire ground infrastructure within the framework of the new hierarchy with unified technical standards, providing control over the targeted use of Russian DZZ spacecraft, information reception, processing and transmission to consumers.
Roscosmos calls this project one of the largest in the field of using the results of space activities in Russia and in the world.
History of Creation and Development
2020: Development of Automatic Space Information Streaming Technology
On March 5, 2020, the Russian Space Systems Holding announced that as part of the modernization of the Unified Territorial-Distributed Information System for Remote Sensing of the Earth (UGDIS ERS), it is developing an innovative technology for automatic streaming of space information.
In accordance with the developers' plan, by using the most modern algorithmic and technical approaches, the complex will significantly reduce the processing time of Earth remote sensing data, which means it will increase the efficiency of their use for its intended purpose, simplify and reduce the cost of operating ground infrastructure.
Automatic streaming of space survey data involves the use of strict mathematical models and processing algorithms, as well as the most efficient use of computing resources.
The current performance of the automatic processing complex on a computing cluster of 10 servers will be up to 200 sessions of information reset per day, but due to the support of scalability when building a computing cluster, the complex is able to process significantly large streams of information. |
The automatic processing complex allows you to quickly process information with the use of all computing power, and in the future it will become one of the advanced software products for the processing of data from the FAR, |
The main task of creating and deploying UGDIS ERS is to eliminate the existing discrepancy between the capabilities of the dynamically developing space potential of Russia in the field of DZZ and its insufficient use to solve urgent problems of socio-economic development, science and security.
UGDIS ERS provides organization of targeted application of the Russian orbital group, coordination of operations of ground complexes, centers, DZZ data reception, processing and distribution points (including from foreign DZZ spacecraft) in the interests of various state authorities, departments, organizations, as well as integration of their information resources into a single geoinformation space for prompt provision of DZZ data to consumers.
2019: Completion of UGDIS ERS with the opening of a regional center in Anadyr
On April 12, 2019, it became known that Roskosmos Valery Zaichko, Deputy Director of the Department of Navigation Space Systems of the GC "," spoke about the completion of the deployment of ground infrastructure for collection, reception, processing, storages and distribution. data
ETRIS was created within the framework of the Federal Space Program 2006-2015. and became a federal project for the integration into a single geo-information space of all information resources of the FAR in the country. The project combined the entire ground infrastructure within the hierarchy with unified technical standards, providing control over the targeted use of Russian DZZ spacecraft, information reception, processing and transmission to consumers.
Valery Zaichko noted that the first regional center of UGDIS ERS in the Arctic zone "Roscosmos" was built in [Murmansk] together with the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Earlier, a second center was opened in the Arctic zone - in Dudinka, on the basis of the military rescue center of the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
By the end of 2019, we will complete the deployment of the center in Anadyr. |
Valery Zaichko drew attention to the fact that the deployment of the center in the Arctic makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of receiving space information.
The observation bands converge at the poles, that is, the centers in the Arctic receive all the surveys made per day around the clock. We consider the opening of this center a significant achievement of the company. We have created a comprehensive system for receiving and processing data. |
Along with the three regional centers of UGDIS ERS in the Arctic zone, four more regional centers of the system belonging to Roskosmos are located in, Kaliningrad, and To Samara. Zheleznogorsk East
Valery Zaichko said that UGDIS ERS, in addition to centers, includes several platforms. The first is the platform for planning the operation of the target equipment of the DCS spacecraft. With its help, not only connection planning is carried out, but also data is reset from spacecraft to regional centers.
The second is a digital platform for receiving and processing data from the FAR from space. In addition to the central geospatial data bank, a regional geospatial data bank, or regional data fund, has been created, which are located in all reception centers. Also, another database data storage platform (distributed database data reception fund) and a data exchange platform have been created.
Valery Zaichko also noted that the state corporation uses, in addition to ground-based fiber optical communication networks, the Luch space relay system. The multifunctional space relay system (MKSR) "Luch" provides communication with moving objects outside visibility zones from Russian territory.
Valery Zaichko also said that to control the Russian orbital constellation of DZZ satellites and ground infrastructure, Roscosmos has begun organizing a national DZZ center from space. It will have a geographically distributed structure: the head division of the DZZ Center will be located in building 49 of NII TP JSC in Moscow, the remote divisions of Kalyazin will be located in the Long-Distance Space Communications Center of OKB MPEI JSC, Anino in the Anino branch of Russian Space Systems JSC, the main data center is also in Kalyazin[1].
2018: Space Information Reception Centre in Antarctica
In February 2018, it was announced that the Russian Space Systems holding (RKS, part of the ROSCOSMOS State Corporation) will deploy a new ground-based center for receiving and processing information from Earth remote sensing satellites (remote sensing satellites) in Antarctica. This will be the first center of the Unified Territorial-Distributed Information System (UGDIS ERS) located in the southern hemisphere. Its creation will significantly increase the efficiency of communicating space information to consumers.
The complex created in Antarctica will ensure the receipt of additional information from the DZZ spacecraft and its transfer to the Scientific Center for Operational Monitoring of the Earth RKS (NC OMZ). This will allow you to quickly free the on-board memory of satellites, significantly increase the area of the observed surface of the Earth, the daily volume of data received and the efficiency of delivery of data protection information to consumers.
Sergey ZAMYSHLYAEV, Deputy Head of the Center for Receiving and Transmitting Systems and Complexes of the Research Institute of Precision Instruments JSC (NII TP, part of the RKS holding): "The ground complex created in Antarctica will provide reception and registration of information from Russian and foreign DZZ satellites. Then this information will be transmitted anywhere in the world using the multifunctional space relay system "Luch." It will be possible to control the operation of the complex both on the spot - from a remote workplace in the wintering complex, and from Russia - through satellite communication channels. "
The Antarctic Land Center is planned to be located on a hilltop near the Progress station. The center will consist of an antenna complex under a transparent shelter and transmitting and receiving equipment installed in a container block.
Employees of the RKS holding together with the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (FGBU "AANIA") completed reconnaissance work in the area of the Progress station. As a result, the technical conditions and deadlines for the work were determined. The commissioning of the Antarctic Space Information Reception Center is scheduled for February 2019.
The deployment of the Antarctic DZZ center of the ROSCOSMOS state corporation is provided for by the Federal Space Program of Russia for 2016-2025 as part of the development of UGDIS ERS.
2017
DZZ Development Plan under the Digital Economy Program
According to the plans of 2017, recorded in the program "Digital Economy of Russia," it is planned to ensure the development of remote methods for obtaining spatial data arrays. For this, in 2018, the legislation should determine the basic principles for obtaining, storing and disseminating spatial data obtained as a result of remote sensing of the Earth (remote sensing). This includes shooting from space, shooting from air, including unmanned aerial vehicles, laser scanning, etc.
Also, the powers of federal departments should be provided to act as operators of state spacecraft DZZ. In 2019, mechanisms will be created to stimulate an increase in the creation and expansion of the use of spatial data obtained as a result of remote sensing of the Earth.
In 2020, mechanisms for assessing and confirming the reliability of spatial data obtained as a result of remote sensing will be developed. By that time, the share of Russian remote sensing data in the total volume of remote sensing used in Russian geoinformation systems will be 30%, and by 2025 it will increase to 90%.
Putin urged to monetize Earth remote sensing data
Providing accessible remote sensing data for Russian and foreign consumers is the most important task in the development of these technologies, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on the development of the space industry in May 2017.
To do this, it is necessary to consolidate all the resources available in this area, improve the procedure for certifying data and the regulatory framework for their use in various industries, he added.
Roscosmos is ready to provide such services and provide data received from Russian sensing spacecraft. The use of foreign spacecraft is not excluded, - said the president. |
At the same time, Putin noted, Roscosmos is still providing mainly state orders, so you can think about further commercialization of these services and expanding the provision of such information, services in the domestic and foreign markets.
I especially note that all the funds earned, of course, should go to the development of the Russian space industry, to its further technical modernization, to promising space research, "he said. |
The data obtained as a result of sensing are also extremely important for the efficient operation of industries such as construction, infrastructure, forestry, agriculture, ecology, meteorology, natural resource extraction, as well as for the prevention and elimination of the consequences of emergencies.
The President referred to the estimates of experts, according to which in the coming years the demand for services for the provision of data obtained using remote sensing of the Earth will increase significantly. Russia in this area has undeniable competitive advantages, and it is necessary to use them to the maximum.
First of all, Vladimir Putin believes, for this it is necessary to increase the orbital grouping, which provides remote sensing. By 2020, it should have at least 15 spacecraft. This will allow shooting the territory of Russia and the entire globe.
Earth remote sensing technology is widely used in leading countries of the world. In Russia, it should be actively used to strengthen both national defense and security, and to develop the economy, social sphere, and improve the quality of public administration, "Putin said. |
2016: Start of regular operation
In September 2016, Roscosmos reported that UGDIS ERS (Unified Territorial-Distributed Information System for Remote Sensing of the Earth) passed state tests. The start of its regular operation is scheduled for the current year.
2011: Creation of the first stage of the system for 1 billion rubles
The creation of the first stage of UGDIS ERS began in 2011. Then Roscosmos announced an open tender for the implementation of OCD on the relevant topic in the period 2011-2013. The initial contract price was 1 039 000 000 rubles.
Composition and functions of the system
Functionally, UGDIS ERS is divided into the following components:
- information subsystem, which provides the processes of storage and distribution of SPD data;
- subsystem of planning and control of data acquisition processes;
- Data exchange subsystem
- means of receiving and processing data from the remote control.
UGDIS ERS provides implementation of the following processes:
Planning and management of DCS information acquisition processes
- coordination of the targeted use of the orbital grouping of spacecraft by allocating their resources, integrated (mutually related) planning of surveys of objects and areas in accordance with the tasks set;
- comprehensive planning of communication sessions for resetting space information at the receiving station;
- Coordinated control of the ground group of DDZ means;
- coordination of plans for the supply of materials from foreign DCS spacecraft in the interests of state needs.
Reception and processing of SPD data
- receiving, recording and processing of the entire CT flow coming from different types of AC.
Storage, distribution and provision of consumer access to SPD data
- archiving and storage of SPZ data received from domestic and foreign SPZ spacecraft;
- providing consumers with access to SPZ information through the geoportals system.
ETRIS consists of 13 large centers that are optimally located throughout Russia - from Kaliningrad to Khabarovsk, including the Arctic zone (Murmansk, and in the future - Dudinka and Anadyr).
The system coordinates their work with domestic DZZ spacecraft. It allows you to plan shooting, receive and process information from spacecraft comprehensively and without attracting additional resources.
As of autumn 2016, the Russian orbital group DZZ has seven spacecraft in operation and providing all types and modes of shooting, including hyperspectral: Resource-P No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, Canopus-V, Electro-L No. 1 and Meteor-M No. 1 and No. 2. Another device - "Electro-L" No. 2 are at the stage of flight design tests and works in test mode.
Within the framework of ETRIS, a general catalog of stored data of the DZZ was created, combining all existing Russian archives of space photography. According to Roscosmos, this significantly increases the efficiency of using the available DZZ information and stimulates the growing interest of domestic and foreign consumers in Russian geo-information services.
