Resource-P (space satellites)

2024

Production of space equipment for recognizing objects from 70 cm at a distance of 475 km from the surface of the Earth has begun

At the end of March 2024, the space remote sensing satellite Lands "" No. Resource-P 4 was launched into orbit, which is equipped with optical and electronic equipment "Geoton-L1," which allows you to create accurate maps of the area and identify places of emergency. The equipment is developed and manufactured by specialists Krasnogorsk Zverev Plant (KMZ, part of the state corporation holding SchwabeRostec). More. here

Launch of the new Resurs-P satellite into orbit

On March 31, 2024, Roscosmos launched a new space satellite Resource-P into orbit. The missile was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

The launch of the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle took place on March 31, 2024 at 12:36 Moscow time. According to the press service of Roscosmos, the launch of the satellite into a given orbit took place normally. The state corporation noted that for Soyuz-2.1b this flight was the 70th in history. This is the fifth launch of the Russian launch vehicle in 2024, including the third from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

Resurs-P is a group of Russian civil spacecraft for remote sensing of the Earth (DZZ). The images obtained by them are used in drawing up and editing maps and in environmental control measures and in finding potential places of oil and other useful ones. minerals In addition, when studying satellite images in various spectral ranges, it is possible to determine the maturity of cereals in the fields, the biological purity of water bodies and the level of soil salinity.

The "Resource-P" devices are designed to update maps, support economic activities, Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia,, and MINISTRY OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Russia Rosrybolovstvo Roshydromet other consumers. The Resource-P satellites are being developed by the Progres Rocket and Space Center. The design service life of the Resurs-P spacecraft is 5 years.

The further development of these high-detail survey satellites is associated with the development of the Resource-PM satellite with improved characteristics. Roscosmos notes that the Resource-P satellites, together with ground-based information receiving points, form a single integrated surveillance system. Due to the deep integration of technologies implemented during the creation of the space complex, the capabilities of the system are significantly higher than the capabilities of three autonomously operating devices, the state corporation emphasized.^[1]
