This constellation of 22 satellites will help improve navigation accuracy for equipment in difficult to reach regions of the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, Head of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) Igor Shumakov said during a working meeting with Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.He mentioned such novel space equipment as the four Elektro satellites, which have been launched into a geostationary orbit and cover the entire territory of the country.“This group is essential for weather analysis and forecasting, as well as for monitoring hydrometeorological events and other hazards,” Shumakov stated.In addition, a group of four Ionosfera-M satellites for monitoring the radiation environment and magnetic field of the Earth has been completed.“This system is used to provide the necessary flight communication and navigation data, especially during geophysical hazards such as solar flares, magnetic storms, and the like,” the head of Roshydromet said.Another two Arktika satellites in a highly elliptical orbit are monitoring atmospheric processes in real time.Overall, the constellation is a powerful monitoring system covering nearly the entire surface of the Earth, with data updated every 15 minutes, Shumakov said in conclusion.
