Podmoskovny MCC unsuccessfully “shook up” satellite “Resurs-P” – Interfax

Moscow. March, 16th. INTERFAX.RU – Attempts to specialists of the Russian space industry to reveal one of the two solar panels of the satellite remote sensing (RS) “Resurs-P” number 3 have not yet led to the desired result, said Wednesday “Interfax” in the Russian space industry

“Shake” the machine does not work, yet all to no avail, “- said According to him,.” maneuver to transfer “Resource-p” with an intermediate into a working orbit in a situation where it is unclear the reason of non-disclosure, it is unwise ” .

The state corporation “Roscosmos” on Monday confirmed that after the launch of the spacecraft “Resurs-p” fixed partial disclosure of one of the solar panels and spacecraft systems receive Energy sufficient for normal volume.

Earlier, the “Interfax” reported in the Russian space industry, which launched March 13 and is located at an intermediate orbit remote sensing satellite “Resurs-p” number 3 is not opened one of the two solar panels. It was said that the space industry experts expect to improve the situation in the coming days in the upcoming two dynamic operations with the satellite associated with its transfer from the intermediate to the working orbit.

The interviewee said that the MCC will hold two maneuver translation device satellite into a working orbit. “Experts expect that the panel can be opened from the dynamic effects that will follow when the propulsion system”, – said the source

The spacecraft remote sensing “Resurs-P” №3 replenish the constellation of civilian means of remote sensing c. detailed level of resolution. Earlier spacecraft “Resurs-DK” (June 2006), “Resource-P” №1 (June 2013) and “Resource-P” №2 (December 2014) has been successfully launched into orbit. The manufacturer of the spacecraft “Resurs-P” №3 is JSC “RCC” Progress “(Samara). The mass of the machine is 5920 kg.
