I present Joint-stock company “VNIIEM” Corporation”. This company under
contracts with the Russian federal space agency creates space complexes.
In the report I want to discuss special - purpose equipment, which is planned to use
in space complexes "Meteor" during the nearest years. These instruments give
information for solving problems of hydrometeorology and oceanography.
On next slide the nearest year’s program of development of the Russian
hydrometeorological and oceanographic space crafts is shown. This slide shows, that
the program provides systematic introduction in operation space complexes of new
generation.
On this slide the planned sun-synchronous orbital constellation of
hydrometeorological and oceanographic space crafts is shown. I shall give more detail
information about special - purpose equipment of space complexes "METEOR - 3М"
AND "METEOR - МП".
A space complex "Meteor - 3М".
