Soon STC cubesats will be launched into space, and we will see "A View from Orbit" 🌌We are pleased to announce that our launch campaign has recently started. A large STC space team gathered for a kind of farewell to a group of small spacecraft. This time, there are a record number of them - 6 satellites. These are CSTP-2.1, CSTP-2.11, CSTP-2.2, "Vladivostok-1", as well as a joint development with Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University "Polytech Universe-4" and "Polytech Universe-5".Each of these small spacecraft is a unique engineering development, and their mission is an important step in the development of the domestic space program. The group will be delivered to near-earth orbit from the Vostochny Cosmodrome by the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle, designed to launch the Ionosfera No. 1, No. 2 spacecraft and accompanying payloads.We are eagerly awaiting the launch and will be broadcasting on this day as is now tradition!
And, by the way, there won't be a single Zorkiy-2M satellite on the Ionospheres. It's much more likely with Aist-2T due to the more successful LTAN for remote sensing.
Integration of 24 CubeSat 3U "SITRO-AIS" satellites from SPUTNIX (part of Sitronics Group) with containers is in full swing in the Aerospace Capital clean room.For the adaptation, launch and separation in orbit of the next flotilla of "SITRO-AIS" satellites, consisting of 24 satellites, the Aerospace team manufactured 6 12U (4x3U) containers.🛰� Today, 28 "SITRO-AIS" satellites provide orbital surveillance of sea vessels.🛳� Movement along the Northern Sea Route is one of the priorities for the development of the SiAIS service - it already allows tracking nuclear icebreakers. Up-to-date data is received thanks to a group of satellites created by SPUTNIX (part of Sitronics Group).Each satellite receives several million messages per day and sends them to Earth for further processing.

The launch time of the LV is determined so that the LTAN of the Ionosfera-M No. 1 satellite orbit after separation would be 08:44. The Moscow standard time of the launch will be 02:18:40. It is applicable to any launch date.

MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. The launch of the multifunctional radar device "Obzor-R" is expected in early 2025, and not in late 2024, as previously reported. This was reported in an interview with TASS by Dmitry Baranov, Director General of the Progress Rocket and Space Center (RSC, part of Roscosmos)."The Obzor-R No. 1 spacecraft [SC] is planned to be prepared and sent to the cosmodrome in December of this year, while the launch of the SC may be carried out in the first quarter of 2025," Baranov said, also recalling that the onboard equipment for the spacecraft arrived at the enterprise in April.He added that the technical design of the second Obzor-R is also currently underway - this stage of work is planned to be completed in May 2025. "The launch of the Obzor-R No. 2 SC under the state contract is planned for 2029," Baranov noted. In addition, he confirmed the postponement of the launch of the Bion-M No. 2 biological satellite until next year.
Ekspress-AMU5/AMU6 mission splitQuoteEkspress-AMU5/AMU6 mission splitPlans to launch a pair of Ekspress AMU-5 and -AMU6 communications satellites on a single vehicle appeared in public documents around 2020. Both spacecraft were expected to be fully equipped with domestically produced components and intended for orbital positions 140 and 53 degrees East longitude respectively.In 2022, the development of the pair was promised to start in 2023, and the joint launch was expected in 2027. However, during 2024, the mission first shifted to 2028 and, in October 2024, a presentation at the SATCOMRUS conference by Aleksei Volin, the Director General of the Kosmicheskaya Svyaz operator, listed their launch in January 2029. The same document also showed the launch of the additional Ekspress-AMU52 satellite in July 2029, into the same orbital position with Ekspress-AMU51 at 140 degrees East for specific coverage of the Russian Far East and Siberia.Among explanations for "splitting" the Ekspress AMU-5 mission into the -AMU51 and -AMU52, could be the increase in mass of the satellites, associated with the switch to indigenous components, which could not be accommodated by the capabilities of the Angara-5 launch vehicle or a prognosis for a higher demand at this position not covered by an available satellite platform.

MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. The Russian private company Sitronics Space (part of the Sitronics Group) plans to add more than 20 satellites to its satellite constellation next year, three of which are Earth remote sensing (ERS) devices. This was announced by the head of the company Pavel Cherenkov."3 ERS [satellites] and about 20 more communications devices," he said at a press conference at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.Cherenkov recalled that three Zorkiy-2M ERS devices were originally planned for launch this year. According to him, Sitronics Space is striving to increase the rate of replenishment of the constellation as part of its cooperation with Roscosmos, since the data from the devices is in great demand for the Russian economy....
MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. The space company Sitronics Space (part of the Sitronics Group) is considering the possibility of preparing to launch two Kinosputnik ultra-high-resolution Earth remote sensing (ERS) spacecraft at once. This was reported to TASS by the head of the company Pavel Cherenkov.The company Sputniks (also part of the Sitronics Group) first announced plans to manufacture and launch one such device in 2021.According to Cherenkov, the first satellite has almost been manufactured, and testing is scheduled to be completed in November 2025. "At the moment, this is already a high stage of readiness of the device. Perhaps we will build another one for the same launch," he shared on the sidelines of the 6th Eurasian Aerospace Congress....
