Today, in our country, we are trying to pay maximum attention to the hydrometeorological direction, so we have formed a triad of space systems. These are spacecraft placed in geostationary orbit, highly elliptical space systems beyond the northern latitudes, this system is unique in the world, and a low-orbit segment represented by Meteor-M satellites.
Sergey Zaitsev, Director of the Department of Scientific and Technical Projects of Roscosmos State Corporation 

The launch schedule for the new satellites is as follows:

  • in 2025 - a series of Arktika-MP satellites. They will provide hydrometeorological information, including weather forecasts on a regional and global scale: forecasts and conditions of sea areas, oceans, the Northern Sea Route, conditions for aviation flights of the helio-geophysical environment in near-Earth space, the state of the ionosphere and the Earth's magnetic field. The satellite will also relay signals from emergency radio buoys COSPAS-SARSAT;
  • in 2026 - a high-detail observation spacecraft Resurs-PM. It will be engaged in cartography, monitor emergency situations, and obtain data for the search for hydrocarbon resources;
  • in 2032 - Arktika-MP, Ionosfera-M-OP, Meteor-MP and Stereoskop satellites.
