Abstract:
The hydrometeorological spacecraft Arktika-M No. 1 was successfully launched in February 2021. The Arktika-M series spacecraft are used in the highly elliptical orbit Molniya, which allows regular imaging of the Earth’s polar regions that are inaccessible for observation from the geostationary orbit. Information from these satellites is applied to solve problems of operational meteorology, hydrology, climate, and environmental monitoring in the Arctic region. The MSU-GS/VE equipment deployed on these spacecraft is slated for receiving images of the Earth in the visible and infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum with the periodicity of up to 15 minutes. The MSU-GS/VE equipment is the analogue of the MSU-GS equipment developed for geostationary spacecraft and upgraded for use in imaging from a highly elliptical orbit. The paper presents the first results of the MSU-GS/VE equipment operation. Modernization of the MSU-GS equipment, which allows using it on the Arktika-M series spacecraft, is described. Further development of the MSU-GS and MSU-GS/VE equipment is also discussed.
