 The
Earth remote sensing microsatellite with optoelectronic instruments of high-resolution
multi-band observation.
It is built under the National Space Program.
The planned launch period - the III quarter of 2004.
It is a small-size high-resolution satellite which optoelectronic equipment
allows to solve a number of practical and scientific problems of regional and
local lever connected with the monitoring of crises, vegetation and soils, creation
of digital maps, resources management, and planning in urban and coastal areas
et al.
The data users may be: governmental institutions, research and ecological organizations,
agro-industrial, geological, construction, transport, insurance companies, travel
agencies, public organizations, mass media.

The MC-2-8 satellite carries an optoelectronic scanner with spatial resolution of 8 m.
Appearance of this satellite is caused by the fact that now there is a stable demand on the world market for images with the resolution of up to 10 m which are required for map making, monitoring of agro-industrial resources and emergency areas. Relatively cheap microsatellites have incontestable advantages in the competition with expensive satellites of Spot type having analogous equipment. |
