The Earth remote sensing system created on the basis of the BKA works steadily and fully fulfills the tasks, Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Vladimir Gusakov assured

MINSK, January 26. /tass/. The operation of the Belarusian Spacecraft (BKA) in near-Earth orbit has been extended until 2025 inclusive. This was announced by Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Belarus Vladimir Gusakov.

"In January of this year, an agreed decision was made to extend the operation of the spacecraft in orbit until 2025 inclusive," he said in an interview with the BelTA news agency published on Wednesday. According to him, in 2021, the NAS jointly with the VNIIEM Corporation enterprise of the Roscosmos State Corporation conducted an assessment of the technical condition of the device. "According to experts, the remaining operational life of the satellite, as well as the fuel reserve for orbit correction, is sufficient to extend its operation for at least four years," the chairman explained.

He stressed that the Earth remote sensing system created on the basis of the BCA works steadily and fully fulfills the tasks. At the same time, it provides information to 26 organizations that are part of the structure of 11 ministries and departments of the republic. According to Gusakov, the information received from the BKA is used to ensure national security, monitor natural and man-made emergencies, study the state of natural landscapes, design, reconstruction and construction of roads. Satellite images form the basis for the creation of topographic and navigation maps, are widely used in geological exploration and the process of aerospace education.

The Belarusian Earth remote sensing satellite has been operating in a joint Russian-Belarusian orbital grouping since its launch in 2012. Its initial service life was designed for five years, but was later extended. In January 2020, the NAS and Roscosmos State Corporation signed an agreement on expanding the capabilities of satellite grouping based on the information resource of the Russian Canopus-V spacecraft No. 3, 4, 5, 6 and Canopus-V-IK.
