A data transmission system for "Marathon IoT" is being developed in Zheleznogorsk. In mid-February, it became known that the first Russian spacecraft of this group will not fly into space - the launch has been postponed indefinitely for software checks.
Reshetnev employees are also working on technologies for the mass production of spacecraft.
The new concept of creating satellites is dictated by the tasks of the federal project "Sphere". As part of it, the Zheleznogorsk enterprise is developing the "Marathon IoT" data transmission system. The full composition of the orbital group will include more than 260 small spacecraft. In the workshops of the Reshetnev company, sections have been created for the flow production of components of "Marathon" satellites, as well as the assembly and testing of the devices themselves.
It is noted that now the company's specialists are testing new technical solutions. In particular, they are looking for ways to reduce time costs and reduce the labor intensity of processes.
