The new Russian satellite distance sensing Resurs-P “will work in orbit for more than five years
Developed in Samara Russia's new satellite distance sensing of the Earth Resurs-P "will work in orbit for at least years. On Tuesday the correspondent of ITAR-TASS reported the general designer of the rocket and the Samara Space Center "TSSKB Progress" Ravil Ahmetov. Compared with its predecessor - the satellite Resurs-DK1 "- a period
of active work of the new spacecraft distance sensing increased from three to five years. In addition, the apparatus is greater productivity and higher resolution imagery.
According to Akhmetov, the Resurs-P "will be a matrix with a pixel size of the cell is less than that of the matrix used for these foreign satellites. If necessary, the satellite will be able to produce imagery with a resolution of less than meters. Broadband equipment to increase the capture bandwidth of up to 100 kilometers or more. In addition, the Resurs-P "will be installed giperspektrometr with 96 spectral channels, which would provide more accurate information about the oil and gas fields, determine the data of soil, germination of crops and other measures necessary in the national economy.
We are assembling unit Resurs-P1 ", held its layout. As noted in "TSSKB-Progress", the global financial crisis has not affected the implementation of the project, launching a new satellite is planned for late 2010.
"We hope that Roskosmos to order another unit Resurs-P", - said Akhmetov - for a continuous flow of information from space requires an on- for at least two or three satellites.
The first time, according to the rocket and in the Samara Space Center, the new satellite will probably be working "in conjunction" with its predecessor, the Resurs-DK1. Despite the fact that the period of the Resurs-DK1 ", launched on 15 June 2006, was established in three years, the resource unit is far from being exhausted. A decision on the extension of the Resurs-DK1 ", at least six months, after which will be considered the possibility of further extension of the satellite.
