The new Russian Arktika-M hydrometeorological satellite, launched into a highly elliptical orbit over the weekend, has received enhanced equipment protection against space impact and radiation.
The on-board control complex from Rosatom's subsidiary, the Moscow Design Bureau "Mars," therefore received an electronic component base and circuit solutions to increase the radiation resistance of the instruments.
Currently, only Russia has meteorological devices that operate in a highly elliptical orbit with an inclination of about 63 degrees. The shooting area of spacecraft of this series is in operation at an altitude of up to 40 thousand km from Earth, above the GLONASS navigation systems. This is a unique perspective of the Arctic region, and it cannot be obtained from any satellite.
"Mars" is already working on on-board control systems for the modernized Arktik-M (Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6), and for the fifth Elektro-L geostationary spacecraft, which will be launched in 2025.
A network of Elektro-L and Arktika-M satellites will help to continuously obtain operational data for weather forecasts on a planetary scale.
