Sich satellite will be launched into orbit today
The Falcon 9 launch vehicle will launch the first Ukrainian Earth remote sensing apparatus in the last ten years.
On Thursday, January 13, the launch of the Ukrainian spacecraft Sich-2-30 (Sich-2-1) with a Falcon 9 launch vehicle as part of the Transporter 3 mission will take place. This was reported by the press service of the Yuzhnoye design bureau, which developed the satellite.
It is noted that the launch will take place from the SLC-40 launch complex at the US Air Force Base at Cape Canaveral at 17.25 Kyiv time.
The launch has a 29-minute launch window.
The Sich-2-30 satellite was manufactured by Yuzhnoye Design Bureau (Dnepr city) for monitoring the use of land, vegetation, forest and water resources, and eliminating the consequences of natural disasters.
In addition, with the help of the satellite it will be possible to receive data on the creation of engineering structures, the movement of military equipment and ships.
The satellite is to become the first in the last 10 years a domestic device for remote sensing of the Earth.
Earlier it was reported that the Sich satellite was successfully tested. He was sent to the US in December.
