Russia and Belarus may develop a group of Earth remote sensing satellites in the near future, said Andrey YElchaninov, Deputy Head of Roscosmos.
He expressed hope that the group would correspond to world analogues.
An analysis of our potential and the capabilities of other countries suggests that everything is in our hands
A representative of the Roscosmos leadership stressed that the corporation's employees have no disagreements with colleagues from Belarus in all areas of the space industry.
The first Belarusian spacecraft was developed by specialists from the Moscow All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Electromechanics. It is based on the technologies of the «Kanopus» satellite. The device was launched into orbit in 2012.
It is expected that a new generation Russian-Belarusian satellite will be launched in 2029. It will be able to take high-resolution images of the Earth.
Earlier, the «Druzhba ATURK» satellite developed jointly with China was brought to Russia. It will be launched in May 2024.
