Russia creates a unique system sensing – Commander

Centre for Remote Sensing of the Earth, created by the Russian Space Agency, will receive control of all of the spacecraft and will be engaged in marketing the destination of the results.

Roskosmos plans to create a single point of service delivery of remote sensing (RS), the disposal of which will go all the Russian spacecraft involved shooting ground. About this newspaper “Izvestia».

According to an informed source in the Russian Space Agency, this structure will form on the basis of the Scientific Center for Earth Operative Monitoring (NTs OMZ), which now operates as part of “Russian Space Systems ».

The draft Federal Space Program (FCP) for the years 2016-2025 is planned to significantly increase the part of the Russian group of remote sensing, having increased the size of the satellite fleet to two dozen spacecraft.

According to the Russian Federal Space Agency, the National Remote Sensing Centre will participate in the formation of the state order for the creation of new remote sensing spacecraft.

Now the Russian satellite constellation of remote sensing capabilities are not impressive: in orbit two satellites “Resurs-P”, who make pictures with resolution up to 1 meter, “Resource-DK1″ with similar characteristics, “Canopus-B” with a picture resolution of 2 m and three working meteorological apparatus. This year we plan to launch another “Resurs-P”. Also during the final PCF 2005-2015 was funded by creating a system of remote sensing “Review-O” four remote sensing satellites. The first satellite “Browse” scheduled to launch later this year, but began to make the system Khrunichev Center project was interrupted, and now it is planned to give to the execution of another company with maturity in 2020-2022 years.

Devices “Resource” are involved mainly government agencies – pictures with them and receive a free book the Emergencies Ministry, the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environment and others. Private users can now apply to the same NTs OMZ and order pictures only with the “Resource-DK1″, the oldest unit groups whose characteristics significantly deteriorated over a long period of his life (2006). Since the proposal is virtually absent, the private companies that use satellite imagery (the same “Yandex”), turn to private companies, such as for example “ScanEx” or “Sovzond” – these providers offer a survey of the Earth not only Russian, but and foreign spacecraft.

– Creating remote sensing center, our goal is to meet the existing demand, bearing in mind not only the Russian customers – says the source of “Izvestia” Roskosmos. – To this end, it is planned to change some scheme of interaction with government customers. The idea is that they are not absolutely everything obtained free of charge (that now is not the best way affects the quality of the product), but partly paid for the work center, such as image processing. This will allow us to grow a competitive player on the global market for remote sensing. A player of this level in the global satellite communications market is a state enterprise “Space communication”, which manages the national grouping of communications satellites, providing commercial services both in Russia and in other markets, up to Australia.
