All running from the Eastern satellites went into the calculated orbit
All satellites launched today From the Baikonur East, entered the calculated orbit, said the head of Roscosmos Igor Komarov.
Rocket " Soyuz-2. 1A " started From the East 5: 07 GMT. The unit for acceleration "Frigate" carried eleven satellites: two Russian and nine foreign (an S-Net from the 4 satellites, four American staff of the Maritime vessel tracking LEMUR and experimental German machine D-Star One).
"Canopus" was released into a sun-synchronous (i.e., the satellites pass over the same point on the Earth at the same time) orbit with an altitude of 510 kilometres of presumably 6. 12 GMT."Kanopus-V" designed for monitoring of technogenic and natural emergency situations, the ice conditions, the major pollutant emissions (for example, in the extraction of coal by opencast methods), agricultural activities, natural resources and land use.
American satellites LEMUR will monitor Maritime traffic, doing weather forecasts at the site-based radio occultation measurements of GPS signals (GPS-RO), and watch the planes for a good cause.
