OREANDA-NEWS The Russian hydrometeorological satellite Arktika-M No. 1 has transmitted 50 terabytes of data in five years of operation. This is reported in Telegram by the Russian Space Systems company (RKS).
Located in a highly elliptical orbit with an apogee distance of up to 40,000 kilometers, the spacecraft is designed to track weather and climate events in northern latitudes, including the Northern Sea Route.
Arktika-M No. 1 monitors, as noted by Alexander Zaitsev, head of the sector of system design and information support for multi-zone scanning devices of the Russian Space Station, using a pair of multi-zone scanning devices that transmit data to Earth once every quarter of an hour.
By 2031, in addition to the Arctic-M satellites No. 1 and No. 2, the Arctic-M devices No. 3 and No. 4, which are being worked on by the RKS, should be in orbit.
