The Kondor-FKA satellite will be able to carry out monitoring of the Earth in any weather and around the clock, including the Arctic region. Their tasks will include mapping the planet’s surface, environmental monitoring and exploration of natural resources. The device will be able to receive detailed images with a resolution of up to one meter in any weather and at any time of the day and examine the earth’s surface in a band of up to 120 km in overview mode.

The launch of the second satellite into orbit is scheduled for 2024, and two more – in 2029-2030.

If we talk about the spacecraft of this series, now the development of design documentation for the “Kondor-FKA-M” with improved characteristics is underway. Its launch is scheduled after 2030. Russia, thanks to the Kondor-FKA-M satellite, will be able to take radar images of the Earth with the resolution of Google Maps.

Aleksey Rabochiy, head of NPO Mashinostroeniya’s Joint Directorate for Space Systems, told RIA Novosti that the new generation satellites will make it possible to achieve a resolution of up to 0.5 meters in detailed shots.

Earlier, Roskosmos reported that with a full orbital constellation of two satellites, the Kondor-FKA space system provides radar surveys of the Earth’s surface in the latitude band from 85° north latitude. up to 85° S in punctual, continuous and panoramic detailed mode with the possibility of implementing interferometric surveying in each of the indicated modes.

This was the second launch of a rocket from the Soyuz-2 family entirely on a new and highly environmentally friendly fuel – naphthyl, and the first for the Soyuz-2.1a modification. In October 2022, for the first time, a Soyuz-2.1b rocket flew entirely on naphthyl. Prior to this, only the Soyuz-2.1b third stage and Soyuz-2.1v second stage were powered by naphthyl.

Naphthyl is a kind of environmentally friendly hydrocarbon fuel with the use of polymer additives. Its advantages are the reduction of harmful emissions and a significant increase in the mass of the payload put into orbit.
