On Friday, September 3, 2021, a meeting of the State Commission was held on the results of the flight tests of the High Elliptic Hydrometeorological Space System “Arctic-M” with the Arctic-M Space Agency No. 1 of the production of the SA Science and Production Association Lavochkina (enters the state corporation “Roscosmos”).
The State Commission reviewed the results of flight tests, it was decided to complete the test, it was recommended to transfer the Arctic-M system with the Arctic-M spacecraft No. 1 into operation.
Arctic-M space apparatus No. 1 as part of the Arctic-M orbital grouping is the first of the two spacecraft “Arctic-M”, alternately replacing each other in the working sites of the orbits, which will ensure a continuous 24-hour review of the Northern Territory Of the Russian Federation and the Arctic region of the Earth. The joint use of information from the high-elliptical satellites “Arctic-M” and the geostationary “electro-l” will solve the problem of quasi-continuous production of operational hydrometeodes.
