September 17, 2014, it was five years since the successful launch of the spacecraft (SC) Meteor-M 1.
Meteor-M 1 spacecraft
Meteor-M 1 - the first device space complex hydrometeorological and oceanographic software "Meteor-3M", which is designed to receive the remote sensing (RS) for operational meteorology, hydrology, meteorology, climate monitoring and the environment, including including near-Earth space.
To achieve the objectives of the target equipment Meteor-M 1 includes such devices as a set of multispectral satellite imagery (KMSS), a multi-channel scanner, low resolution (MSU-MR), the module temperature and humidity atmospheric sounding (MTVZA) airborne radar system (BRLK) and others.
With these equipment Meteor-M 1 on a regular basis are working on rapid mapping of ice conditions in the domestic and external seas of Russia, built survey and local maps clouds.
Global Data MSU-ll allow you to track the path of the typhoon, cyclone, hurricane, which belong to the most dangerous natural phenomena. Data are used Roshydromet, the Russian Defense Ministry, the Russian Transport Ministry to recommend a course of pilotage and timely warning to the population.
Monitoring tropical storm
For forecasting spring floods and floods on the basis of Meteor-M 1 prepared by satellite images of the degree of destruction of ice cover and river flows.
Each year, survey data from the Meteor-M 1 are used for real-time monitoring of Russian regions covered by forest and peat fires. Operational data recording after standard work every day in season fires enter the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the regions.
Satellite imagery Meteor-M 1 regularly used to monitor volcanic activity, agricultural land use, forest management (illegal logging, reforestation), as well as solutions and other applications.
Among the consumers of this information - the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Economic Development, Roshydromet, Roscosmos, Russian Academy of Sciences, the executive authorities of the Russian Federation (the Voronezh region, Lipetsk region, Magadan region, Tambov region, Volgograd region, Tomsk Oblast Kaluga region, Vladimir region, Kirov region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Kamchatka Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, Altai Republic) and many others.
Monitoring of forest fires
Over five years, 821 developed and implemented the program of work onboard target equipment. Means of ground-based receiving, processing, archiving and dissemination of satellite data and Roscosmos Hydromet was held 17079 transmissions targeted information with Meteor-M 1. During this period, were received and processed 6,340 requests for information from the equipment KMSS. Survey of the entire Earth's surface equipment MSU-MR performed without applications in continuous mode.
In addition, during the reporting period were processed and promptly comply with requests of EMERCOM of Russia, the Russian operator input from the International Charter "Space and natural disasters."
During operation of the consumers given more than 581 million. Sq. km. information with KMSS and more 23915000000. sq. km. information from the MSU-MR.
