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.

Together with the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, to work out the possibility of ensuring the regular launch into orbit of Sitronics satellite vehicles," reads the instruction published on the government's website on Saturday.

The Government also suggests considering the possibility of sharing data from these satellites by various departments.

Together with the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the Ministry of Finance of Russia and Rosreestr to work out the proposals of Sitronics on the use of remote sensing data based on satellite devices of this company and submit a report to the government of the Russian Federation, the document says.

Roscosmos has already responded to this proposal.

The Roscosmos State Corporation supports the development of private cosmonautics in the country and will provide all necessary assistance in the creation of Russian commercial orbital groupings," the Telegram channel of Roscosmos says.

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.
