”The optical system for the Russian-Belarusian Earth remote sensing satellite will be ready in 2025,” Dmitry Sikorsky, the enterprise's deputy general director for scientific and technical development, told BELTA's YouTube project “By Fact: Decisions of the First”.

Dmitry Sikorsky notes that the design documentation for the new Russian-Belarusian spacecraft, which will have a resolution of 35 cm, is currently being developed. ”Today this is the best resolution offered on the market,” said the deputy general director of the enterprise. A prototype body and photodetectors have already been prepared for the satellite. It is planned that in 2025 the target equipment will be manufactured. Earlier it was reported that a joint Belarusian-Russian satellite for remote sensing of the Earth could be launched in 2029. The current constellation of satellites of the Union State includes six satellites: one Belarusian satellite for remote sensing and five Russian satellites of similar purpose from the Kanopus series.
