Roscosmos: RKS and NPO Lavochkin to create the Autograph remote sensing system
The Russian Space Systems (RSS) company and the Lavochkin Scientific and Production Association (NPO) will create the Autograph Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) system. This reports State Corporation Roscosmos.
The Pixel-VR spacecraft will be created on the basis of the Karat-200 platform. In total, the group will include up to 72 devices located at an altitude of 500 to 700 kilometers and allowing observation of the planet in the optical and near infrared ranges.
“In this project, RKS is implementing its key competencies: developing ideology, configuring and building orbital remote sensing systems, and creating service and target equipment for satellites,” said the company’s CEO, Gennady Erokhin.
