Roscosmos has already announced its readiness to support the project
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin instructed Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov to work with Roscosmos and the Ministry of Finance on the possibility of regularly launching Sitronics satellites into orbit.
The Government also suggests considering the possibility of sharing data from these satellites by various departments.
Roscosmos has already responded to this proposal.
But what kind of satellites are these, the launch of which is almost lobbied by the government itself?
SXC6 Platform
In 2021, Sitronics Group acquired the Russian private company Sputnix, specializing in the creation and production of satellites, high-tech satellite components and technologies for small spacecraft.
If you go to the Sitronics website now, there will be several satellite models in the aerospace systems section, from cubesats to quite large ones. Two platforms are suitable for remote sensing of the Earth: the SXC6 platform in the Remote Sensing modification (Remote Sensing of the Earth) and the Pallada microsatellite platform. Apparently, we are talking about the latter, since we are talking about the Sitronics grouping. As for the SXC6 platform, the OrbiCraft—Zorky satellite was sent into orbit on its basis in March 2021, as a representative of the next generation of CubeSat systems after SXC1 and SXC3.
