Россия и Белоруссия запустят совместный суперспутник в 2028 году

The future RBKA has already been showcased at an exhibition in Minsk

The "National Security. Belarus-2024" exhibition, in which representatives of the Roscosmos State Corporation participated, concluded last week in Minsk. As part of the exposition, the development of JSC "Corporation "VNIIEM" was also shown: the new RBKA apparatus.

This is part of an integrated Russian-Belarusian space system, which is planned to be launched in 2028. The satellite is a high-resolution Earth remote sensing spacecraft with an optoelectronic payload.

It will allow for:

  • monitoring of natural resources, agricultural and forest lands, pastures;
  •  creation and updating of cartographic materials (topographic maps and city plans, general geographic and thematic maps);
  • monitoring of the environment (pollution control of the natural environment, emergency situations);
  • inventory and control of the construction of infrastructure facilities.
The high spatial resolution remote sensing data obtained with its help [RBKA], combined with advanced information processing technologies, will allow users to receive satellite monitoring services in various fields of economic activity at a new qualitative level (on a new high-precision geospatial basis).
