The Russian satellite put into orbit

Orbital unit integrated in the upper stage "Fregat" and the navigation satellite of modern development "GLONASS-K" global navigation system GLONASS, was successfully separated from the upgraded rocket "Soyuz-2.1 b" and launched into the target orbit.

That rocket was successfully launched outlined adept Troops aerospace defense of the Russian Federation Aleksei Zolotukhin. According to the cyclogram flight, further withdrawal of the satellite will be using 3 connections main engine "Frigate". After separation, the satellite will be on a circular orbit with altitude of more than 19 thousand km, reports "Interfax".

Troops aerospace defense of Russia, which protect the borders of Russia from the air in the space launch of the GLONASS-K will mark the three year anniversary. It should be noted that the upgraded carrier rocket "Soyuz-2.1 b" is created entirely in Russian technology and the use of domestic materials. In addition, it differs from previous models that is equipped with digital control system, which significantly increases the accuracy of the output apparatus in the set position of the earth's orbit.

Earlier Days.Ru wrote that the orbital state satellite constellation Russia by 2025 will be increased to 150 spacecraft. It will focus on solving practical problems, the number of vehicles for socio-economic purposes will increase to 75 excluding GLONASS satellites.

The leader of the United rocket and space Corporation (ORCC) Igor Komarov said that the new Federal space program (BFC) poses sector of the global task. "We need to focus on solving practical problems, that the cosmos has helped people to live here on Earth," he said.

"According to the new project PCF, orbital constellation of spacecraft socio-economic purposes will increase to 75 (currently 35), of which 20 - earth remote sensing satellites. This figure, 75 satellites, does not take into account the satellites GLONASS, full grouping which should be 24 of the apparatus and 2 back. All vehicles GLONASS working at the moment, will be replaced by new ones. And regarding the number of satellites for state needs them to 2025 is planned for 150. And these devices should come with the best international standards," said Komarov.
