ELEKTRO Geostationary Hydrometeorological Spacecraft (future spacecraft)

Mission Objectives

ELEKTRO-L geostationary hydrometeorological spacecraft is designed for operational imaging of cloud cover and the Earth’s underlying surface, heliogeophysical measurements, hydrometeorological and housekeeping data collection and relaying.

Operational imagery (0.25-0.5-hour periodicity) of cloudiness and Earth’s underlying surface;
Operational acquisition of data on global atmospheric processes in near-equatorial zone that affect weather formation throughout the globe;
Heliogeophysical measurements;
Collection and relaying of weather and housekeeping data;

Tasks to be Fulfilled

to acquire on an operational basis images of cloudiness and the Earth’ underlying surface;
an operational 1-2 times in an hour obtaining of data on global atmospheric processes occurring in subequatorial region and governing weather formation throughout the globe;
heliogeophysical measurements;
hydrometeorological and housekeeping data collection and transmission.

Consumers
Organizations of federal and state services (Roshydromet, Roskartographiya, Minprirody, and others), administrative, economy, and commercial organizations.
