On the basis of the Scientific Center for Earth Operative Monitoring (NTs OMZ) JSC Russian Space Systems opened a portal that provides the latest images of the planet Earth from the spacecraft (SC) Electro-L.
Electro-L № 1 satellite
Today NTs OMZ OAO Russian Space Systems is the Operator of Russian space systems for remote sensing (RS), as well as ground-based complex Roscosmos performing receiving, recording, processing and dissemination of information coming from remote sensing systems.
SC Electro-L № 1, designed to collect and relay weather information, launched in January 2011 into a geostationary orbit to the point of standing 76° Electro-L Specified lifetime is at least 10 years. SC Electro-L № 1 is the first of three spacecraft space complex hydrometeorological in geostationary orbit, which should be fully deployed until 2015.
Space complex is intended for operative imaging clouds and the Earth's surface, of heliogeophysical measurements, data collection and relay hydrometeorological and service information.
Hight resolution image of the Earth by Electro-L № 1
Comparative analysis of the characteristics and technical solutions used to develop the system, has shown that a geostationary satellite Electro-L № 1 on the technical parameters and capabilities of the best foreign geostationary spacecraft similar purpose GOES (NASA) and MSG (European Space Agency).
