Российский спутник «Ресурс-П» выведен на орбиту благополучно

It will engage in remote sensing of the Earth

"Roscosmos" announced the launch of the Russian remote sensing satellite "Resurs-P" No. 4 into orbit. The launch of "Soyuz-2.1b" with it from Baikonur took place the day before.

The satellite's insertion into the target orbit and its separation from the third stage are proceeding as normal, with no incidents.

Like other "Resurs-P" satellites, "Resurs-P" No. 4 will be involved in the study of natural resources, monitoring environmental pollution, supporting the search for mineral deposits, assessing ice conditions, monitoring emergencies, and assisting cartographers.

It is the penultimate satellite in its group. From 2025, instead of "Resurs-P", Russia will begin launching more advanced versions into space: "Resurs-PM" satellites.
