Resurs-P


Resurs-P is a series of Russian commercial Earth observation satellites capable of acquiring high-resolution imagery. The spacecraft is operated by Roscosmos as a replacement of the Resurs-DK No.1 satellite.
The satellite is designed for multi-spectral remote sensing of the Earth's surface aimed at acquiring high-quality visible images in near real-time as well as on-line data delivery via radio link and providing a wide range of consumers with value-added processed data.

Spacecraft

The Resurs-P spacecraft was built by the Russian space company TsSKB Progress in Samara, Russia. It is a modified version of the military reconnaissance satellite Yantar-4KS1. The spacecraft is three-axis stabilized. The design lifetime is no less than five years. The ground location accuracy is. The maximum daily imaging area is.
Resurs is Russian for "Resource". The letter P stands for prospecting.
