Some time ago, representatives of the state corporation Roskosmos announced their desire to create a special space complex for stereoscopic imaging of the earth’s surface. Shortly thereafter, information was received that the corporation ordered the development of the Aist-2T satellite apparatus from the Progress Rocket and Space Center (part of the state corporation). But, unfortunately, the initial assumptions that the satellite would be launched this year, today, May 30, were dispelled – this was reported by the TASS publication with reference to Roscosmos employees.
The management of the corporation had to slightly reconsider the situation with the development and assembly of the Aist-2T space satellite, shifting the deadline for completing the order to 2023.
“The planned production date for the Aist-2T spacecraft is the fourth quarter of 2023,” an official statement received from the TASS publication in the press service of the RCC Progress.
Unfortunately, representatives of Roskosmos do not provide information on why exactly the deadline was revised. Perhaps such a technically complex task requires more modeling or production time, or some technologies and solutions need to be tested longer than expected. But in the end, Roscosmos specialists must get their hands on satellites that are capable of receiving panchromatic and overlapping stereoscopic images and color photographs of the Earth’s surface.
Aist-2T satellites will receive images and transmit them via radio to ground receiving points, where the data will be processed and then used for a variety of purposes. Judging by the specification of the future satellite, it will transmit information at a speed of 300 MB/s, while in orbit at a height of 400 km from the Earth.
