The development was announced by the holding company "Russian Space Systems" (RKS, part of the Roscosmos State Corporation). The new generation of equipment will significantly reduce the size, weight, and energy consumption for the formation and reception of signals from promising Earth remote sensing satellites. At the same time, the equipment will maintain high reliability.
New solutions in future promising devices include:
- virtualization technology in the construction of a data storage system. It will combine several disk drives into a single large-capacity carrier. This will greatly increase the amount of stored, received, and transmitted information, and improve the performance and fault tolerance of the system;
- increased data reception speed: space images from the target equipment will be received into the onboard storage at a speed of 18 Gbps and higher;
- transfer from orbit to Earth of up to 1 TB of high-resolution data at a speed of up to 1500 Mbps.
Earlier it became known that the Russian "Gazprom SPKA" planned to produce up to ten large satellites by 2030, which are part of the federal project "Sphere". RKS technologies may be in demand in their construction.
