The deployment of a new system of optical-electronic space exploration, based on the advanced sets of “Hrazdan” starts with 2019 the Russian Defense Ministry. They will replace satellites currently used such as “Persona”, according to the newspaper “Kommersant”.
Space Forces of the Russian Federation and the Samara Space-Rocket Center “Progress” are already consulting on engineering design 14F156 type satellites “Hrazdan”. The first such satellite will be launched from Plesetsk in 2019, the second – in 2022, and the third -. In 2024,
“Hrazdan”, according to several sources, is “head and shoulders above all his predecessors “. There will be a fundamentally new payload and high speed radio with additional protection. The third and subsequent devices will be equipped with a new telescope with a diameter of 2 meters. Optics for him manufacture Krasnogorsk plant named after Zverev.
Now use military satellites such as “Persona”. They were launched in 2008-2015, although it was initially planned that they will fly in 2003. Of the three of available spacecraft was lost a few months after the launch due to failure of electronic components. Two machines are still in use. In particular, and to gather information for the Russian military action in Syria.
However, these satellites were not enough. I had to use for military purposes civilian apparatus of the family “Resource” and the “Canopus”, who were involved in remote sensing of the Earth.
