The company RESHETNEV is actively involved in the creation of new Russian Arktika-M meteorological satellites, equipping them with solar panels of its own production. At the current stage, the frames of the battery panels are made of high-modulus composite materials.
After the completion of production, the frames will be transferred to Saturn for the installation of photovoltaic cells based on three-cascade gallium arsenide. The final assembly and testing of the batteries will be carried out at the RESHETNEV enterprise.
The project, implemented by the Lavochkin Research and Production Association, is aimed at developing satellites for highly elliptical orbit, capable of providing the Hydrometeorological Center with operational climate information about the Arctic zone and performing signal retransmission functions for search and rescue operations.
Currently, two Arktika-M series satellites are successfully operating in orbit, also equipped with solar panels from RESHETNEV.
