Specialists are checking the readiness of the launch complex of the Vostochny Cosmodrome

The "Ionosphere-M" devices will be sent into orbit this summer

A series of experiments will start in May 2025 as part of the "Ionozond-2025" project

Russian satellites have successfully passed tests and are ready to operate as part of the Ionosond system

Specialists are testing the spacecraft before sending satellites to study the Earth's ionosphere

Satellites "Ionosphere-M" No. 3 and No. 4 are preparing for launch

The satellites "Ionosphere-M", "Obzor", and "Electro-L" No. 5 will be put into orbit

Checks showed that all devices are functioning normally
