Moscow. October 4. INTERFAX - The orbital grouping of the Russian Federation currently consists of more than 160 spacecraft (spacecraft), said Colonel Roman Vinokurov, Chief of Staff of the Main Test Space Center (GICC) named after G.S. Titov.

"There are more than 160 spacecraft in the orbital group of the Russian Spacecraft today, of which about 70% are under the control of our center," Vinokurov said in an interview published on Monday in the official newspaper of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation kRasnaya Zvezda.

He specified that "the orbital grouping consists of spacecraft for communication, navigation, topogeodetic and meteorological purposes, remote sensing of the Earth and monitoring of the state on its surface, scientific and socio-economic purposes."

"Depending on the purpose and the tasks to be solved, the satellites of the orbital grouping are located in different orbits and operate at altitudes from 200 to 40 thousand kilometers. More than 80 types of radio equipment for various purposes are successfully used in the Main Center to control each type of spacecraft," explained the Chief of Staff of the Titov GICC.

According to him, "special attention should be paid to spacecraft operating in geostationary orbit, which are designed to organize continuous and global communications."

Vinokurov also noted that the Main Test Space Center "uses the domestic GLONASS navigation satellite system and manages it in the interests of the consumer."

"The group is currently deployed in full force, it is actively being re-equipped with the latest spacecraft with an extended period of active existence, created using the domestic element base," said the Chief of staff of the Titov GICC.
