September 30 at a meeting of the Federal Space Agency of the State Commission for conducting flight tests of space systems of socio-economic , scientific and commercial purposes, which considered the results of flight tests of the space complex (CC ) Resource -P with the spacecraft (SC ) Resource-P № 1.
Based on the results obtained during the flight tests , it was decided according QC "Resource-P" with "Resurs-P" № 1 tactical and technical requirements of the job and transferring it into regular operations on October 1, 2013.
Space complex Resource-P is for high-precision , detailed broadband and hyperspectral optical- electronic monitoring Earth's surface.
Image above: The launch is the Resource-P № 1 was completed June 25, 2013 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
"Resurs-P" created SRP TsSKB Progress on the basis of the existing backlog and project developments to improve its performance objectives - increasing the number of narrow spectral ranges from 3 to 5, providing hyperspectral and stereo , geolocation to within 10-15 m without the use of ground control points , an increase of lifetime spacecraft with 3 to 5 years. High-precision spacecraft control system, including the ability to shoot provides a route along the flight path, and at an angle to it. Provides the ability to implement and stereo recording space on one turn.
Resource-P № 1 description
This spacecraft was the second in a series of satellites of the resource in the domestic constellation of civilian remote sensing of the Earth c detailed level of resolution and is designed to inform problem solving Earth observation:
- compiling and updating the general geographic, thematic and topographic maps;
- control of pollution and environmental degradation;
- inventory of natural resources and monitor business processes to ensure the rational activity in various sectors of the economy;
- information management activities for oil exploration , natural gas , ore and other mineral deposits;
- control of development of territories , to obtain data for engineering evaluation areas for the benefit of economic activity;
- control of water conservation and protected areas;
- assess ice conditions;
- Observation of emergencies , disasters, accidents, man-made disasters , as well as assess their implications for planning remediation.
Resource-P - a device with a qualitatively new features, and above all, the composition used to it target equipment. One of the basic principles of formation of shape space complex (CC ) Resource-P is the use of technical solutions which have been accumulated in creating QC Resource-DK. Have improved considerably spacecraft Resource- DK to the width of the capture and the level of resolution in panchromatic and spectral ranges. It operates at near-circular sun-synchronous orbit, which can significantly improve the observations on the "Resurs-DK". The new spacecraft will be able to shoot at the same height and in the same lighting conditions. The frequency of observation is reduced from six to three days. Furthermore, improved consumer properties and precision reference images transmitted to Earth dynamic characteristics of the spacecraft.
Resource-P № 1spacecraft in orbit
Capacity of tactical and technical characteristics of the new spacecraft achieved through the use of several types of imaging equipment . At the "Resurs -P" is set opto- electronic equipment , which will deliver highly detailed images with a resolution of 1 m with a height of 475 km in the panchromatic band, a narrow spectral bands with a resolution of at least 4.3 meters.
The task of equipment "Resurs -P" introduced two other types of imaging equipment : hyperspectral survey equipment - GSA (development of CMH) and a set of wide field multispectral imaging equipment - KSHMSA (development branch SRP TsSKB Progress - SPE OPTEKS). Locking band hyperspectral instrument is 25 km and a resolution of about 25 m KSHMSA allows detailed observation with wide with a resolution of 12 m swath of 100 km, with a resolution of 60 m - a swath width of 440 km . Together with panchromatic images allows simultaneous recording at fixed spectral ranges.
The presence of this equipment will increase list and quality of the spacecraft solved problems in the socio-economic development of the country and its regions.
