В РКС разработали технологию, которая в 10 раз увеличит объем передачи данных со спутников

Data compression algorithm for transmitting high-resolution optical images

RKS Holding (part of Roscosmos) has developed a data compression algorithm that will increase the volume of data transmitted from satellites by 10 times, the corporation's press service reported.

This involves the use of an adaptive mathematical algorithm that will help archive information directly in orbit. It will be implemented in spacecraft of the "Resource" and "Condor" types.

It is specified that this is a promising direction, especially when it is necessary to transmit high-resolution optical images without loss of quality. Existing methods of data transmission via high-speed radio lines cannot be improved, as they have reached the maximum data transfer rate.

Earlier it was reported that specialists of NPO Mashinostroyenia have reached the final stage of testing the space vehicle "Condor-FKA" No. 1. The first such Earth remote sensing satellite was launched into orbit in the spring of last year. It is planned that it will be able to perform its functions for at least 10-12 years.
